Emily, please be sure you tell us WHO is posting each of your websites, WHY they are posting it and WHAT is in the website.

None of your links open to pages related to this topic. The first two don't work and the other two open to general pages from NINDS and WebMD

I only saw peer evals for three of your peers.

Tried again to access the websites and had the same result as before.

1. First link didn’t work!

2. Second link went to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and said page not found.

3. Third link was a blank page.

4. Fourth link went to a search page for WebMD.

1. The first link didn't inform me too much of what it is your talking about exactly. Just a site from Webmd.com, when I opened it, it didnt go to any specific page of information.

2. The second page actually just told me no URL was found for that link. I tried typing in a couple things to see if I could find the right page but I had no luck :-(.

3. The third page also just told me URL not found, again I tried a few things but couldnt get anything to come up.

4. The fourth page I think would have told me the most information but when I clicked the link, the website said that it was under construction and things had been moved.

1. The first two links that you gave I could not get to work. I tried variations of the addresses but they did work.
2. The third link is a good basic introduction to the topic, although it is just a fact sheet.
3. I liked the fourth link the most as it gave the most amount of practical information for the general public, yet was detailed at the same time.

this website is a bit tricky to get into but once you get into it there are many different aspects on spinal cord damage that are useful to my topic.

This helps by giving a clear understanding about spinal cord damage and how it is being treated

 This shows the differnt way that spinal damage is treated. So it's not just informing about how it is damaged but what else is affected by it.

Emily, I just clarified the name of this topic on our topics list as "spinal cord damage" to be clear you are referring to the spinal cord and not the "spine" which is sometimes used to refer to the vertebral column.

I have choosen to choose spinal damage due to accidents and physical activty. It relates to our A and P class in that we have studied the nerveous system and it's functions. Many times a sports player will injure their backs or many people are paralyzed each year by accidents.
