The pop quiz was pretty easy, so here's an assignment that is a little tougher.

Choose one of the four categories to examine some sites related to the same topic to get a sense of the challenge of finding reliable sources of information on the Web.

The Mayan Calendar

The Sixties

Eggs and Cholesterol

The Oil Crisis

Warning:
The Mayan Calendar assignment may be challenging since I suspect you don't already know much about the topic.

Warning:
The Sixties assignment may be challenging since anyone over 50 can claim to be an expert.

Warning:
The Egg assignment may bechallenging since there is such a wide diversity of opinion from "good" sources.

Warning:
The Oil Crisis assignment may be challenging since there are no easy answers.

Instructors: I gladly grant permission for others to use or adapt this assignment. I only have one condition. Please let me know. For technical reasons, I now ask you to create your own means for collecting answers from your students.
