Technology makes vast amounts of information

Instructions:   Technology makes vast amounts of information (and misinformation)  readily available. The challenge is navigating this sea of information.  Our goal for your general science education is to develop your  scientific literacy. A critical skill you must develop is the ability to  find reputable sources for scientific information.  There are many  sources of high-quality scientific information on the open web; you just  need to learn how to spot them.

For this homework:

•  Select a source of biology information from the open web (the topic can  be any topic related to biology or that of your research topic).

• Evaluate the source and explain why it is or is not a credible source of information.

• Provide a reference for your source in APA format. 

Use the following material for assistance:

• Use the Owl at Purdue site for assistance with APA format:  http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

350-400 words excluding reference, APA format and a minimum of 3 references
