Evaluate a Source ASSIGNMENT:
For this essay, you will select one of the sources you have found through your preliminary research about your research topic. Which source you choose is up to you; however, it should be a source you intend to use in your argument. It should also be substantial enough that you will be able to talk about it at length, and intricate enough that it will keep you (and your reader) interested. Once you have chosen a source, you will write a 2-3 page (500-750 word) essay in which you evaluate the source on two levels:
- Credibility: Using the information in this unit as a guide, evaluate the source’s authenticity and reliability.
- Usefulness: Using a combination of summary and analysis, discuss how the source will help to support your argument.
