What criteria would you use to evalute the authencity and credibility of the information in a web site?

        There is much one must look at in order to evalute the authencity and credibility of the info that can be found on sites. Formost, one should look at the url of the web page. .com web pages are usually commercial; therefore, it is more wise to use websites with .gov , .edu, etc. Next you should look at the title of the webpage and the author because anyone can compose a web page. You do not want the web page that you will be using for an essay to be written by a high school student like yourself. Next, look at when the web page was last updated. Science and medicine often changes due to new discoveries so make sure to check the date of updations so you have the latest information regarding a topic.
