Week 2 Questions for Sociology of Sport- Human Kinetics- University of Windsor
- Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Although most factual information is referenced I did notice that the 2010 Brier results in Paragraph 3 were not referenced at all.
- Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? After carefully checking every link on the article I noticed 2 contradicting article links. The first showed a biography saying he was married with 0 children and the 2nd is referenced to say he has 2 children but upon opening the link there was no evidence/information showing that he had children. I do not believe there was close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article although the previous point could also be used for the answer to question 1 where the reference could be seen as unreliable.
- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? I do believe information in the first few sentences of paragraph 3 were not necessarily underrepresented but were very choppy and poorly written. It seems as if multiple writers took the time to add information and facts but not necessarily blend the information together. I do believe a more effective use of transition words could benefit this article immensely.

***********WEEK 3: As soon as I made my post I realized I had made a mistake in the citing. Within minutes I tried to go back and fix them but someone had already edited and fixed my citation error. I have included the changes he made here so you can see the proper citations are being used and what my original post was. Just don't want to lose marks on the citations because I didn't have a chance to fix them before someone had done it. Thank s
