Question

Imagine your teacher has assigned you a research paper and has warned you that any paper turned in with faulty or non-credible sourcing will receive an F. Later, while researching, you find an Internet site with just the information you need. How do you verify that the site is credible?

Answer 1

If it's a .gov or .org it's most likely a credible site. Also look at the bottom of the page, it will often give you the date it was made and the date it was refreshed with new info. It'll also give you the name of the creator/ author which you need. Also check the information with other sources like books and such. If information doesn't quite add up or make sense it's not credible.

Answer 2

You study the information from the site with other sites,books and even dictionaries,you can even use the wikipedia (not for everything but for most things).
