During the test
read the direction
it’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.
Answer each question first.
Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts.
You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.
Answer every question
unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question, you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.
Ask questions
if a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin

Online learning

Part 2

More tips finally look beyond the article for more clues

·        Read the websites home page and about us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the website, its purpose and organization sponsoring it

·        If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site search somewhere else in the web

·        Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was updated

·        Presentation count s; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean well organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism

·        Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below the bar suggestive and falsifying

Choose the right

It’s online, but is it on target?

Dot-what?
Look at the sites address. What follows the dot?

·        Dot-con is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·        Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an argument.

·        Dot-government indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable

·        Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.

·        Dot-education usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world- renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put students course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.
