Finish Full Drafts of Section C (Secondary Source) and Section B. Both Due Friday @ 3:10 p.
Evaluation of Sources
Simplified Directions. See my website or the class handout for more details.
1. ORIGIN: Locate the "provenance" of the author early in this process. It can sometimes be difficult. Again, the provenance means the author's origins / credibility / knowledge on the subject matter of the source.2. PURPOSE: The author's purpose for writing a book is usually located in the preface, introduction or first chapter of the book. Read those carefully so you can save yourself a lot of trouble. There are NO shortcuts to this step.
3. VALUE: Why has this source been valuable to you in answering your question.
4. LIMITATIONS: What are TWO issues regarding this source that may limit its usefulness in fully addressing the topic. However, just because it doesn't deal with your question, doesn't necessarily make it a limitation.
