Hence, it is important to evaluate sources of information that you plan to include in your academic writing venture Note: There is always a risk that the sources taken from the Internet or anywhere else have biased or incorrect information, so you have to evaluate and filter your sources before using them. The following are some of the criteria assessing whether the source is suitable to use for academic purposes. The criteria include relevance, authority, currency, contents and location of sources 1. Relevance of the Source How well does the source support your stand? You can check the title, table of contents, summary, introduction or headings of the text to have a sense of its content. 2. Authority/Author’s Qualifications Is the author’s name identified? Is the author’s background, education or training related to the topic? If the source does not have an author, think twice before using it. Legitimate academic texts must include citations. Citations demonstrate that the writer has thoroughly researched the topic and is not plagiarizing the material. 3. Currency/Date of Publication What is the date of the publication? In most fields, the data from the older publications may no longer be valid. As much as possible, the date pf publication should be at most five years earlier. 4. Contents/Accuracy of Information Does the author have a lot of citations in his or her text and/or bibliography or works cited section? You do not want to use source that is disputable, so make sure to verify your findings with multiple sources. 5. Location of Sources Where was the source published? Was it published digitally or in print? Is it a book, an academic journal or a reputable news source as www.nytimes.com or www.economist.com? Does it provide complete publication information such as author/s, editor/s, title, date of publication and publisher? What is the URL of the website? Avoid using blogs or personal homepage and wiki sites (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquotes) If the URL includes the top-level domain.edu, then that means that it has been published by an academic institution such as university Common URLs include.gov (government),.org (organizations),.com (commercial sites) and.net (network infrastructures). In academic writing, reputable sites are those with.edu,.gov,.net and.org in URL.  HOW TO PRESENT A REASONABLE ARGUMENTS AND FACTUAL EVIDENCES TO DEFEND A STAND  Guidelines in presentation of reasonable arguments and factual evidences to defend a stand:  C -ontains a clear proposition or statement that must be defended A - ssesses conflicting opinions or opposing views on the issue T - akes a firm stand on the issue L - ists arguments in an organized manner to defend the stand C -onsider your audience/reader Example: Task 1: Choose Who-One! Task 2: D.
