First let me say I'm not a drupal developer nor a web designer; I only work with them.
My question is, how can I see completed implementation of drupal modules, not just sandboxes? For example, my company is looking at adding a Q&A section to the site that works like stackexchange. We are considering our options, and Answers looks like a popular choice. How can I see what others have done with this module (or any module for that matter)?

Some modules will have a link
Some modules will have a link to view a demonstration on the module download page. If that's not there, then you'll need to install Drupal, and install the module to test it out.
This is why you are generally better off hiring a Drupal developer who has a good knowledge of Drupal modules, and a development environment in which they can test modules and show you the tests.

yep, you usually have to test out modules to evaluate them. There is however a quick way to do that these days: http://simplytest.me. You only have a site for something like 20 mins, but it's a great way to narrow down choices or see if a module is worth evaluating more thoroughly on a local or dev install.
