Evaluating Pages

This list contains all kinds of pages. Your task is twofold. First, look at the page and decide if the information contained on the page is credible. Second, explain how you decided and how you could defend your decision. Remember the 5 criteria: accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage.

Now you're on your own. Using any of the tools we've looked at or others you know of, find the answers to these questions. Decide how to find the answer, why you chose that route and create a citation using Landmark Citation Machine.
