In-Class Lab: Chapter 5 and P. 90 Tutorial

              This chapter will discuss the importance of evaluating evidence through different sources.  When you come across a source there’s many ways to check the relevance of opinions and factual content. First you should evaluate the author and what knowledge they have on the topic they’ve written. Distinguish the voice that you feel like is being portrayed through the text. Is it the same as yours or is it taking another perspective. Also, take note on different publishers and how bias they are on the topic. Each source should be evaluated differently based on where you’ve retrieved the information.  If it is a digital source make sure to check the accuracy of the source and if it is a documented text check on how it relates to the field and your topic.

                This can highlight helpful ways to actually show ways to evaluate each source you come across researching a topic. It also makes note on key questions to ask yourself while you’re reading through documents on how is the author framing his opinion and what genre is taking note. This can help you keep in mind not to stray away from your perspective on the topic.  Your genre and perspective is your ultimate frame and knowing how to evaluate your source to give you more information will help.
