  7. Evaluating Modules- Activity With a partner, choose one site to rate from 0 to 4 stars depending upon quality and based on the criteria provided. • 0 stars – does not meet quality • 1 star – meets quality at very basic level • 2 stars –meets quality at sound level • 3 stars – meets quality quite strongly • 4 stars – meets quality in exemplary fashion http://questioning.org/module/cycle.html
