You go, Bebe. You went ahead and did all five qualities, instead of just three. Whichever college you go to is going to be lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteI hate to break this to you, but anyone can buy .net as well. The type of domain really doesn't have any relevance as to whether or not something is credible, really. The only exception is .edu, and even then, any student at the school can make a website on the school's domain, which will not automatically make it a good source. Advertising, unfortunately, is everywhere, on all sorts of sites (most large sites that get a lot of hits cannot afford to pay for all that bandwidth without advertising).
ReplyDeleteWhat you really want to look for is a list of sources and references; these can be of any sort although the best are journals, published works, and academic materials (the worst being other websites, though this doesn't necessarily mean it's not good info). Check out the bottom of any Wikipedia article and you'll see the kind of sources and documentation meant to show something is valid.
