Return to Assignment 14
Be careful when trolling the InterNet - there are some very strange sites out there. There are also many very good informative ones. As part of this course, I hope you will develop the ability to distinguish a good factual presentation from one which is merely someone's opinion and personal agenda.
Also, be very careful to cite your sources, and try to put things into your own words, rather than just copy and paste from a web page.
Use MSWord or a text editor such as Notepad to prepare and save your work, then send it as an Attachment to, or pasted into, an email message to Dr. Rollinson at
rollinsondr@yahoo.com, rollinsondr@hellokitty.com, and rollinsondr@mail2world.com
Please use all 3 email addresses in case any of the mailboxes go down.
