Evaluating Source Materials Workshop Evaluating Source Materials Workshop: Strategies and Discussions for Assessing Credibility, Accuracy, Objectivity, and Relevance

Here is a chance for you to practice evaluating source materials and share your strategies/questions with your colleagues. 
In this optional (ungraded) discussion, you can practice evaluating the sources listed here or provide your own sources. You can also evaluate sources provided by others.
Here are 4 criteria to help you evaluate sources:
•    Is the author credible (trustworthy) to write about this topic?
•    Is the information accurate (verifiable) rather than opinion?
•    Is the source unbiased (objective)?
•    Is the source up-to-date?
The attached article has helpful information on traits of high quality academic writing. It is “Teaching the Conventions of Academic Discourse” (https://myclassroom.apus.edu/content/enforced/202928-745717/Thonney%20Teaching%20Conventions.pdf) by T

Question each other on evaluation decisions. Make this a valuable workshop for all.
