How do you evaluate?

True or False?

When evaluating online content, you should consider the domain of the hosting website.

References, or citations, always indicate that a resource is credible. 

If content is published in an academic journal, you don't have to evaluate it. 

One of the first things you should do when evaluating online content, is to look outside of that resource for more information.
