Purpose: The website has stated its purpose very clearly, which is to let people to know what is going on in Suncity, and what can they be enjoying when they enter Suncity.

Why did I chose this criteria: As if I were to go, I would want to know what can i do when i get there instead of being clueless about the place and just heading it.

Accuracy: I believe that this website is fully accurate with the fact that the website was created by the people that works in Sun City, to interest people from all over the world to come and join them.


Why did I chose this criteria: As to ensure that I would not be cheated by other people who decided to give Sun City a boast in publicity but its the total opposite when I actually go there.

Why did I choose to go to Sun City?
For my dream holiday, i would want to head off the Sun City, in South Africa. Sun City has given me a very deep impression, as it is totally the opposite from what I can see in Singapore, also the fact that I have been to a few countries in my life, going to South Africa, Sun City has provide me with a lot of fun that not many places can provide with, it is definitely a interesting place to be.

Practical Seven 7

This is for my practical seven.

a. Which criteria did you use to evaluate Stomp.com? Why did you choose this criteria? What lessons have you learnt from this activity?

so firstly, what did I use to evaluate Stomp.com. I used the accessibility, presentation and arrangement also the overall quality. as because I feel that these three points are more important as compared to the others, well firstly, accessibility is needed for people who are 'guest' on the website to be able to visit pages in the websites that even members are able to view, this will help people to decide whether the website contains good informations and may want to join it rather than joining, and realising that it is not so good, and just quit.Next, presentation and arrangement is very important, for a website to be viewed and enjoyed by others, they must be able to have a good look on the website rather than looking around for different type of articles, which makes it look too messy. For Stomp.com, i would say that it is rather messy, due to the fact of the advertisements and the different bright colours, this makes it hard for people to read articles that they want, as they will take awhile before to find. However, there is also different links to different type of articles, so this is a good point.Finally, overall quality, it is important to let the viewers see that the website has been done with effort and not with work that is very slack, therefore, one must spend time to do the website well so that it will attract people, eitherwise people will not even go to the website even if the news are true and all.From this activity, I have learnt the importance of giving people a good website to use, as website is a window for people all over the world, or in this case Singaporeans to talk within themselves and feel comfortable doing so.

b. How do you feel about sharing your views via Wiki?
I felt that it is very interesting sharing my views via Wiki, as i will be able to learn what others feel about the same topic that i am going through, so by doing so, we will be able to learn among each other, and also at the same time, knows how other people feel as to the same thing.
