INTERNET SURFING AND WEB INTEGRITY ISSUES.

Purpose: As you write term papers or other educational essays, you will be quick to surf the Web in an attempt to derive quick and informative material. However, care must be taken. It is a dangerous world out there, and you must be equipped to spot a fraud site. The ability to spot and exclude such sites will help you to eliminate embarrassing situations and preserve your own reputation as you perform continued scholarly work.

Objective: The following sites are available for browsing. Take a look at these sites and determine which of them are fact based and which are ramblings or personal gripings. Explain how you can tell that the site is not all it is cracked up to be.
