When you're doing research or studying, you'll use different sources of information. It's important to think critically not only about how sources agree or disagree with your ideas, but also if you should even use them. Quality matters more than quantity. Using reliable, credible sources will strengthen your argument, while poor or unreliable sources can cost you points.

This is especially important when using websites. The web is great for finding information, but it’s so big that it can be hard to tell what’s true or not. Anyone can publish anything online, even if it's false or biased.

So, you need to be careful when using websites, even for things like online shopping. For example, many reviews on websites like Amazon are fake, especially for electronics.

You don’t need to be an expert to figure out if a website or source can be trusted. There are simple ways to assess if a source is reliable, and these methods can be used for websites, books, or articles.
