WHAT AM I GOING TO LEARN?
After you have completed the Evaluating Information module you will:
- Be able to sift through the junk to get the info you need
- Utilize the results of your search more effectively
SO WHEN I FIND THE WEBPAGE (JOURNAL ARTICLE, BOOK, etc.), THAT’S IT, RIGHT?
Absolutely not! Just because you’ve found it doesn’t mean that it will work for you or your paper/lab report. There are many factors that you have to take into account. For instance, your prof may have told you to obtain a peer-reviewed article. Or you may find a really cool webpage, but you aren’t sure whether it’s genuine or not.
