Opinions on Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (5)
Positive: 3 - Neutral: 2 - Negative: 0
1. Positive opinion for Overall impression
It is a useful site for those students of philosophy, but its lacks on numerous topics, but the topics it does cover are covered well as one would expect from a site named after such a great school as Stanford. Its layout is simple, and thus it is easy to navigate.

2. Positive opinion for Efficiency
Plain looking site without fancy graphics. Contains a brief summary of everything undergraduate students of philosophy need to know. Easy to navigate and locate your topic. Regularly maintained and updated.

3. Neutral opinion for Overall impression
This site was not very user friendly at all. All it seemed to list was a table of contents, only a few of the listings per category were you actually able to access. If you wanted to go into depth in information about most areas and names listed for study, you will be out of luck

4. Positive opinion for Overall impression
The table of contents is divided by three universities: Stanford (principal), Sidney and Amsterdan. However, they are all the same - the server is different but they all load very fast. Content is good but it should be separated by letter, otherwise there is too on only one page.

5. Neutral opinion for Effectiveness
Not every term is accessible in the dictionary. The ones that are, however, bring up an extensive article which includes a bibliography, related links, and related entries. A very educational site.
