Chapter Five Entry

Chapter five showed me how to evaluate. The word "evaluate" was a key expression throughout this particular unit. Not necessarily what to evaluate, but HOW to evaluate in a way that will help me find concrete sources. It is important to use logical information and evidence. In order to find these sorts of details, a writer must first find reliable sources. Then, a writer is able to create a paper that has strong evidence that is believable. A writer never wants to use a source that gives out false information.

In order to compile reasonable sources and evidence, a writer must first make sure the information is relevant. Then, if the source is using evidence appropriately, you must learn about the author. It is key to make sure that the author of a source is not just some couch potato! Again, it is important to have RELIABLE information. A way to make sure that the author is knowledgeable is to check who the publisher is. This will help you understand how bias the opinion is. Another thing to be sure of is the suitability and relevance of the source. The last thing to consider is the type of source. Keep in mind that anyone is able to put up false information. Credible information will build up your paper. Once you  have carefully evaluated a source, you will be confident in using the information and gain pristine knowledge of your topic.
