Lesson 5.1: Credibility

  • Understanding ranking—it’s not the same as

credibility.

  • Choosing appropriate terms for your query—different

  • Verifying credibility by looking for fact-checking sites—

sites that you know to be credible. Do one more search.

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy." —attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr.

  • Use date-range search to see when this quote first
