Regardless of your personal beliefs about tree octopuses or Bigfoot, use your detective skills to make a judgement about the sites (something you should do **every time** you browse a site for academic research). Make sure to read several sections of text, look at the images, browse the links, etc. Once you have browsed and evaluated the sites with a partner, you will take an individual quiz based on the following:
