Evaluating Websites Course Introduction
Have you ever been doing research, found a webpage that seemed to have all the answers and then found another one that had contradicting information? You seem to stare at the screen and not know which to believe.
Have you ever searched a keyword in a search engine and found a site that seemed relevant for what you are looking for, but the webpage is covered in advertisements?
