Carefully evaluate websites for authority, accuracy, bias and relevance. For tips on evaluating web sites try this site, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, or Why It's a Good Idea to Evaluate Sources. Hint: pay close attention to the Criteria information.
To limit your search to government, museum or educational sites, use Google Advanced Search -- and limit by site. Or, for example to find only government sites on George Washington you would put this in the google search box: George Washington site:.gov.
Suggested Internet Sites
Association for Psychological Science -- although this is labeled as a teaching resource there are many links by subject area that would be helpful to the PSY 206 assignment.
Citing Sources
APA Citations are used in psychology, education, engineering, business, and many of the social sciences. Find information on creating APA citations, a brief style guide on APA from the University of Washington, or create your citation using NoodleBib.
