This quiz will give you a chance to show off your Internet searching skills! Below are listed 20 items. You need to find 10 of them for the quiz (5 points each). Every item beyond the 10 will count as extra credit. This is your chance to make up points for a missed homework assignment or missed quiz. You must use at least 3 different search tools (ex. Yahoo, Google, Northern Light, Alta Vista, Excite). The only search tool you cannot use is Ask Jeeves. That would be too easy!
To get credit on each item, you must format your answers as follows:
EX: What is the name of President's Bush's wife?
1. Answer: Laura
Search tool: Google
Site URL: http://www.whitehouse.gov/ (use FULL url, http:// included)
Tip: Don't give me the URL of the search engine result page. Actually click through to the page with the answer and copy that address. I want to be able to go to the link you give me and find the answer.
No credit will be given for answers that do not have all three parts. Send this to me as an email (no attachments, please) with the subject line of "P050, Quiz 2, Last Name, First Name". Good luck, and happy hunting!
