- 4. Trustworthy??? Indicate which Website you would trust/prefer as a resource for information for you and/or your students and why?

With that being said, I think that the Bio website was easier to navigate through because of the subtitles, which would be easier for my students to use and seemed to be more trustworthy out of the two.
