Activities: Evaluating Information
Practice applying evaluation criteria to different types of sources.
- Choose one of the strategies covered in this module (ACT UP or SIFT) and use it to evaluate a source you found for your research. [Don’t have a source handy? Use this one Links to an external site. or this one Links to an external site.!] Which evaluation criteria are most useful to you? Imagine you’re finding sources for a short research paper. Based on your evaluation would you use the source as a cited reference? Why or why not?
