Information Providers: Authority

The students largely agree that for the topic of Biomes, scientists with advanced degrees and working for environmental organizations would be the most authoratative and trustworthy information providers. They also agreed that web pages created by elementary students or others whose credentials are unknown should not be cited as reliable sources of information.
