This list is designed to help students reduce the amount of time they spend looking for information so they are able to spend more time learning the information. This is not a comprehensive list and there are new sites all the time. Please feel free to email me any new sites you find to be helpful, and I will include them on this list.
Remember, the internet can be an extremely useful tool, but it is only useful when you think about and absorb the information. Simply copying down the words on the page does not constitute learning the information.
