Directions: Use the World Wide Web to find answers to the following questions. Be patient - there is an answer to each of these questions somewhere on the Internet. Make certain that you print the answer and highlight it so that the instructor can find it in the document. Also print the answer so that the URL for the site is visible on the printed sheet. As you find the answers to each question, use the Web site titled Evaluating World Wide Web Resources to judge whether the source you found is credible and reliable. On a cover sheet that you submit with your answers printed from the World Wide Web, provide your judgment as to why you believe the source to be credible or not.
