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

Choose one of the five 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.

Mayan Calendar

Reliving the Sixties

Eggs & Cholesterol

Martin L. King, Jr.

Peak Oil

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 55 can claim to be an expert.

Warning:
The Cholesterol assignment may be challenging since there are all those scientists and "health experts" with something to say.

Warning:
The MLK assignment may be challenging since Dr. King was such a controversial figure.

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