You know you have to cite your work, but you're not sure how. Take a look at this guide to help get you started.

Content

Content & Coverage

How comprehensive is the web site?

Is there a large amount of information available or does the web site consist primarily of links to other web pages? Is the information presented on the page consistent with your
knowledge of the topic?

How accurate is the content of the page?

Is the page free of grammatical and spelling errors? Are sources provided for facts so the information can be verified?

Are references or bibliographies posted on the page?

Is the source of the information stated or is a list of resources on the topic provided? You are required to cite your sources; expect the same of pages on the Internet.
