This chapter explains the factors you should use in order
to evaluate a source. The author was able to explain how to thoroughly evaluate
relevance, evidence, the author, the publisher, usage of time, how to
comprehend, as well as how to evaluate the genre of the essay. This was a very
useful chapter because I haven’t thoroughly researched each of these categories
for my topic, but now I know there are numerous options I can explore and use
for my research essay. Evaluating digital sources is a little different than
evaluating field sources, such as interviews, observations, and surveys. This
chapter does a good job of explaining how to go about each source which is very
helpful because I will be using many different sources throughout my paper and I
need to know how to go about each one and how to successfully place it in my
paper. I will definitely keep this chapter in mind because when looking at
sources online, it’s sometimes sketchy and hard to figure out if they’re
credible enough to include in your paper, but now I can use these tips on how
to find good sources for my future essays.
