Overview

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

Research the same topic you began researching in the attached article. 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.)

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

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.

Include a correctly formatted Works Cited entry for each source. Need help with MLA?
