Poor or Good Evidence
There are a couple of types of evidence when doing a reaserch for a paper. One is when you do interviews, experiments, surveys or personal experiences. The other one is information that you get from other sources like, websites, books and periodicals. It does not matter where you get the information from, it most be credible, accurate and trustworthy. When we search information on website, we need to be really careful, anybody can write fake stuff on internet, so we need to look for credible sources and how we do that, ask questions like, Who is the author? How recent is the source? What is the author purpose? and again when evaluating Internet sources, never use Web sites when the author can be determined, those are not good if we are researching information for a document. Knowing this simple steps, then we know how poor or good the evidence in our paper will be.

I strongly agree with you in this not all the sources we find out there are trustworthy. We have to be carefull on the ones we cite from or get information from.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your post, many websites such as wikipedia can be altered by anyone. I often type the word 'scholarly' when researching for articles and journals that have credibility.
