Evaluation of Web Pages |
Tuesday, April 20, 1999 |
|
Your task in this homework is to evaluate the Web pages prepared
this semesters.
The topic for which I want you to evaluate the Web pages
is indicated on this shee.
The idea behind the Web pages is to provide additional material
to students taking this class in order to help them understand
the important concepts of Operating Systems better.
What I want from you now is some feedback on how well this
additional material is prepared, and how useful it is for you.
Each student will evaluate a different set of Web pages,
which can be found at the following URL:
http://www.cs.njit.edu/~web332/
Go to your specific topic by selecting the corresponding link
at the top of the page.
Below I'm giving you some guidelines for the evaluation, but feel
free to add other aspects that you feel are important or
interesting.
There is also one section that refers
to the overall collection of Web pages for this class,
not only to your specific topic.
Use extra sheets if necessary, or download this file and
enter your responses in the file.
