EQ: How can I evaluate and use web resources to find and use evidence to support my thesis?
There are so many great resources available on the web. But it is important that we think about what makes a high quality website.
We are always on the look out for sites that are credible, current, relevant and accurate. We are also always thinking about the bias that exists in our sources.
Below you will find web resources examples. You can use them to get you thinking about a topic or you can use them as evidence for your thesis.
