In-Class 3/19/2013

Today, we looked at ways we can evaluate sources on the web. The areas we focused on included Credibility, Bias, Accuracy, Relevance, Significance, Intended Audience, and Currency (please see the notes on Evaluating Sources, found in the content section of D2L for additional details).

In class, begin searching for potential web sources that are related to your paper's topic. Find at least three sources and evaluate them on your blog. For each source evaluation, please include the following information:

• Identify the source (article/source/website title) and its author.
• Determine source's credibility, accuracy, relevance, bias, currency, significance, and intended audience.
• Explain how you figured out this information.
• Discuss whether or not you'll use the source in your research.

Please be sure to bring your Little Seagull handbook to class on Thursday.
