This information was posted in 2005 all together, but there are all the different
references that were found and posted at the time of dates they were published but
this document or article was published in 2005. I assumed it has been revised but
not updated because this was published in 2005. This will give good information I
believe because it is talking about the main topic and what the affects of it is. This
link is a good one and functional.
Relevance:
It does relate the topic I chose because it shows and tells what causes and what can
become the outcomes when you are stressed, the injuries that can come to this. Yes
the information is at a appropriate level that would be good to use for school
projects, Im not sure that elementary children could comprehend this. Yes I would
feel comfortable citing this in my research paper for the amount of information and
sources it comes with.
Authority:
Gregory Wilson from University of Evansville and Mary Pritchard from Boise State
University are the authors of this journal or sponsors that put all the information
together. They are professors for the studies of exercise science. I believe they are
qualified to writ this or this wouldnt have been a creditable source to post. It gives
the phone number for Gregory Wilson at (812) 479-2847, Fax: (812) 479-2717, and
E-mail at gw3@evansville.edu. The URL is .com but not about the author.
Accuracy:
This is information that comes from other sources and it is copyright from the
Athletic Insight, Inc. it is supported by all the other sources and from the sources
they researched on their own to create this journal. Yes you can tell because they
give you all the sources that they researched to get some ideas of what the topic is
about. The language of how they are presenting this seems like it is something that
has emotion but its not something they thought off the top of their heads it is
actual researched material.
Purpose:
The purpose of this information is to compare the stress from a college athlete and
a non- athlete. It is to inform of what happens to each and what is caused as an
outcome on each. They are both fact and opinions where they received their
sources. It seems to be impartial because its comparing them. There are some
institutional and personal biases with the people that are involved.

stress. This is supported or this wouldnt be published but there are sources and
background on the author stating she is legit and this is good evidence in the topic.
I am not sure if it has been reviewed or referred but im sure many people have
reviewed it and commented what they think about this. From a personal knowledge
point of view this information I would agree with being a college athlete. The
language is professional and it is well set up. No errors that I can see.
Purpose:
The purpose of this is the stress of student athletes transitioning into college and
what they have to deal with and how they can deal with it in their life. This is a clear
purpose and it is easy to understand what you are reading. This is propaganda
because it has fact and opinion in it and is used to inform people what is happening
with college athletes. This is a personal bias because I know what it is to be stressed
as a college athlete.

This information was published in 2012 but with sources found that were posted in
their assigned dates. I dont think it has been updated since it has been posted

better to have current information on an athlete then one back in time but both can
work. This is functional and can give great information.

what all has been put on them in life throughout school. This is a clear purpose and
it explains what they are trying to present. This is both fact and opinion because
some may think that athletes can man up but the fact is that there are athletes and
even non athletes that are dealing with stress while in school. This is more as a
society or the world as a whole bias and what is happening and what some think.
This I give about a 4.5 with all the info provided and what the topic is. I know that
this is a scholarly data.

the topic that can be both current and older sources to work with as well. I would
think this is functional as the information that is supplied for this as a topic in whole.
Relevance:
This branches off of the topic to help support it, not really answer the question
directly but it helps answer the question. This is intended for the audience of college
athletes and everyone that is studying about this topic. This is a an appropriate
level to understand and to research. I have looked at many other sources and like
this as a branch off of the topic that still supports it. Yes I would be comfortable
