• You will be given a scenario.
• You are doing research on effective ways to
  discipline children. The website that you find
  has been setup by a father of five children.
  There are nice pictures on the website of him and
  his family, but some of the links and the
  navigation bars are difficult to understand. The
  content area has a lot of different information
  in a very long paragraph of how to raise
  children. There are some minor spelling mistakes,
  but you think the advice given is reasonable.
  This father does not seem to complete any
  research, however. His credentials show that he
  has a Bachelors Degree from Cambridge University
  and a Masters Degree from Harvard University both
  in Environmental Engineering.
• What is the purpose of this site? Would you use
  it in your research? Why or why not? (NOTE you
  must include CARS in your paragraph response)
