Points to consider:
Please do not use “advertisement” web sites for your assignment. Typically websites that are trying to sell you a product are not credible sources of information.
Do not use sites that are technically “over your head”. Choose a site that is informative and interesting to the masses.
Always include a reference link to the site you are discussing – your classmates may want to read more about it for themselves. Example: http://psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20030424-000003.html (Links to an external site.)
