Answers to questions in Step 7 -- evaluating the source


  • If you were writing a research paper for your freshman composition class on this topic, would this be a source you could use? Why or why not? 
  • If your teacher asked you why you chose to use this source, what reasons would you give your teacher to justify your choice? 
  • If you did not think that this would be a credible source, where might you look for a more credible source? 
  • Finally, write a 3-5 sentence annotation (summary) of this source that evaluates its credibility and states why this source is or is not credible.

    13. 1. In my opinion I do believe this has enough credible information to be used for A FEW facts. This definitely wouldn't be the focus of my papers research.
      2. I would say the reason I chose this is because its written by a well educated professor who also used multiple sources.
      3. If I didn't trust this article I would look on the Destiny search engine or look for formal books and websites by actually established historians.
      4. This source is trustworthy to an extent because t covers multiple topics, has multiple sources, and links websites in the bio. It isn't the greatest webpage/article for information or a lack there of. However, for a few quick facts theres nothing wrong with this article.
