There are lots of good information sources on the Web, and lots of bad ones. So it's up to you to critically evaluate any information from the Web. Asking yourself the 5 W questions – Who, What, When, Where, and Why – can help you evaluate and determine if the information is what you want to use in your assignment:
- Who is the author of the web site and what are their credentials (expertise)?
- When was the information published or written?
- Where was the information published?
- Why was the page created?
