Answer the questions in each area of evaluation.  Then based on the answer, rank each of the 5 parts from 1-5 (1= unreliable, 5 = excellent).  Add up the scores to give you an idea of whether you should use the resource (and whether your teacher/professor would want you to).

YOU'LL HAVE TO KEEP A RUNNING TALLY IN YOUR HEAD OF THE SCORES YOU GAVE EACH SECTION.
