Evaluating Sources, Evidence And Credibility
Akopọ
Finding sources is only half of research. The harder, more valuable skill is judging them. Anyone can paste a quotation or a statistic into a report; a Global Perspectives student can say how far that quotation or statistic deserves to be trusted, and why. In a world where a convincing-looking claim can be invented in seconds, knowing how to test a source is one of the most useful things this course teaches.
This lesson gives you a clear method for evaluating sources and evidence. You will learn what reliability and credibility really mean, the questions to ask about who wrote something, when, why and with what expertise, how to spot bias and vested interest, how to tell fact from opinion from prediction, why corroboration matters, and how to weigh the strength of the evidence and reasoning behind a claim. These are core AO1 skills and they are tested directly in the Written Exam.
