Moore GU101 Unit 4 Assignment

This week focused on building key academic skills for success in college. Over the course of your college career, you will complete a variety of assignments that require the use of evidence from sources. It is important to know what makes some sources of information more reliable or credible than others. 

In your reading and lecture videos this week, you were introduced to the  CRAAP evaluation tool  that can be used to help identify good sources of information. You will be applying your knowledge of the CRAAP method in this assignment based on the scenario below:

Imagine that you are enrolled in a class called BIO301. Part of your midterm for BIO301 requires you to submit a works-cited page outlining the sources you plan to use for your research paper on the health impacts of stress. You are required to provide at least two credible sources of information on the topic that you will share with your instructor. In addition, you must be able to prove that your sources are reliable. Use the CRAAP evaluation tool to evaluate the reliability of your sources. You have already come across two websites that might provide helpful information on the subject, but they must be evaluated:

·          Stress Management

·          7 Strange Things Stress Can Do to Your Body

In addition, find one more site related to the health impacts of stress and evaluate it using the same CRAAP evaluation tool. 

Finally, write a short paragraph explaining which of the three sources you would use for your paper, and explain why the other source(s) would not be a quality academic resource(s). Please submit the 3 CRAAP evaluation tools and your paragraph as one document to the dropbox for grading.
