  • Evaluating the Credibility and Usefulness of a Source “Evaluating Sources: A Comprehensive Analysis of Credibility and Usefulness” “Improving Writing Skills: Reflection and Practice”

    Touchstone 2.1: Evaluate a Source
    ASSIGNMENT: For this essay, you will select one of the sources that you intend to support your argument. Which source you choose is up to you; however, it should be substantial enough that you will be able to talk about it at length, and intricate enough that it will keep you (and your reader) interested. 
    The introduction of this paper will involve introducing the source: After you recap your research paper’s central argument argument, provide the author, the title, and the context (where you found the source, where it was originally published, who sponsored it, etc.) 
    You will then go on to evaluate the source on two levels:
    Credibility (at least one full paragraph): Using the information in this unit as a guide, evaluate the source’s authenticity and reliability. Look at all the information that you can find about the source to establish the author’s (or sponsor’s) trustworthiness.
    Usefulness (at least one full paragraph): Using a combination of summary and analysis, examine the source on a critical level. Determine what the source’s purpose (thesis) is, and how it arrives at that goal. Examine its value to you and the project you are working on. How will it help you prove your own points? How might it come in handy to back up a claim (or address a counter-claim)?
    Finally, you will include a conclusion which shows your final assessments on both counts.
