Research with attitude
Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you
examine websites for clues that they are trustworthy, ask these questions:
·
Who wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the
individual or organization responsible for the information don’t use it.
·
What are the author’s qualifications for writing on
the subject?
·
Has the article passed through an editorial process
designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
·
What is the web site purpose? Look for motives—like selling
products or winning votes—that could result in biased or incomplete
information.
·
Is the information accurate? Is it up to date?
·
Where did the author get his information?
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
