Module 2 Discussion 2: Source Evaluation and Comparison

 

In research writing, your own credibility rests on the credibility of the sources you consult. If you use unreliable research, your own writing will be viewed as unreliable. In this discussion, you will evaluate sources for your research.

You should spend approximately 3 hours on this assignment.

Instructions

1. Research the same topic you began researching in Discussion 1. Access the CCCOnline Library Databases, and search for two sources with differing perspectives on your chosen topic that you believe will be useful to your research project. (You may use sources from your Source Scavenger Hunt.) I already attached them so don’t worry about finding them!

2. Think: Use the resources from the Exploration page to help you evaluate each source. Use the  CRAAP test .

3. Write: In your initial post, write a short evaluation paragraph for each source. Then, write an additional paragraph where you compare the two sources based on your evaluations of the sources.

4. Include a correctly formatted Works Cited entry for each source. Need help with MLA? Please refer to the CCCOnline MLA Citation Toolkit, or consult the Purdue OWL for how to create a correctly formatted  MLA Works Cited page .

5. Post one original post, and reply to at least two of your classmates. In your replies to peers, compare your evaluations on your chosen sources. Discuss your findings and what elements you consider most important in a source. Discuss why it is important to pay attention to the credibility of your sources. Try to further the discussion in your replies by asking thoughtful questions, adding interesting information, or connecting your reply to the material we are discussing.

6. Don't forget that your initial posting is due by the date listed in the Course Schedule. Please post over several days. Points will be lost if you post on only one day of the module.

See the Course Schedule and Course Rubrics sections in the Syllabus module for due dates and grading information. See the Grading and Evaluation section in the Syllabus module for general discussion expectations.
