How does one evaluate sources to determine validity and reliablity when reading informational sources? How can you determine the quality of an online source? How do I know if a source is NOT credible? Respond to this question and to one peer.
You give credits to that source. You know it has good quality when there are facts backing up facts. You know if the source isn't credible when there are mainly opinions or the facts aren't proven to be true.
If the end of the sight link is .org or .net or .gov or .edu these will usually be the most reliable .If it is like Wikipedia it is editable if you have an account.It is editable by any one.
If it has a .com people could add things that couldn't be true. If it has .edu it could possibly have things that aren't true, but it will probably have true facts. If it has .gov it is probably something that someone that has done a lot of research on it and has all of the sources on and doesn't really have any falls facts.
Sources determine if you did or did not read it. Look at the ending. For example .org, .com. etc. If you are unsure of a website then look at another one and determine if the facts are the same or different. You definitely know if a site is not credible because it doesn't have facts backing it up.
It has to have a source with it so people know that you didn't come up with it and your source sin't from you. That it has reasonable facts and they are from a reasonable source. If it doesn't have lots a facts and that stuff.
You have to give good credit to the source.You should make sure its a good website before you use it.If a source is good it will give you good facts about the website.
To determine credibility, you can look at the author and find whether their information is valid or not. You can look at groups, organizations, and other possible 'clubs' they're in. You can also look at multiple sources and compare them. If you can find the same information on two or three sites or in a few books, it's usually valid facts. However, a source is not credible if it's biased or it's information can not be found or supported by another source. Also, if the author has no clue what their talking about or no solid credibility, the information probable isn't reliable.
You have to credit the source and you should compare a couple different sources to know that the facts are right. You should know if a web site is correct because it should have good facts to back up the topic.
You have to site the website so people actually know where you got you information and to know if a website credible you have to look at the author and the url.
Determining whether or not you should use a sight, based on how reliable it is, can sometimes be very easy or very hard. One of the key components to determining whether or not you should use an informational sight is if it contains .edu or .org. These two endings to a link signify that the sight is for only informational use and will be reliable and is a certified cite. Another key component in having a good sight is grammar and spelling. One thing that can make you leave the sight almost instantly would be unprofessional language or writing.
To determine the credibility of a site, the site must have a date when it was last updated, a specific author, and the source has to have a .com, .edu, or .gov. One thing that makes a site unreliable is when people who do not know all about the topic can replace the reliable facts, such as Wikipedia.
You have to look at more than one website and if they have the same thing then you know if the reading is credible and if it has quality to write a paper.
You can determine if a source is credible by looking at the author, domain name, or if two other sources have the same information. If a website has the domain name of .edu,.gov. or .org it will normally be a more credible source than ones with .com, or .net. Also, if you have been to three sources that all have the same information and the next one you go to is completely different, you could say that source isn't credible.
To evaluate whether a source is credible or not, you must look at a couple things. When you are doing research using a website, look at the domain. If it ends in .org, .gov, or .edu, it is most likely going to be a credible source. If the site ends in .com, you should look at the website a little more. You must look to see if it is a wiki, something that anyone can write about an edit, then it is definitely not credible. Even if the facts are by chance true, you don't want to take that chance of having false information. Wikipedia is an example of a source you should never use due to it being a wiki. Another thing you may want to look at is the author of the article. If it is an expert writing, then it should most likely be a credible source. If it was a student or any other random or anonymous person, then it might not be as credible. One other thing you may want to look at is the date it was published. If an article was published in 2000 and you're doing research on something recent, then facts have probably changed. You want to get the most recent information possible for your research to be quality.
Wow Ariah, you have REALLY outdone yourself this time. I absolutely loved the part about the recent and old website information! Keep up that amazing work! ~Josie Cudaback~
To determine the source is good look at who the author is and if they can be trusted. You can determine the quality of an online source if it is scientifically proven and not everyone can post stuff on it. You can tell if a source is nor credible if anyone can post on it/put in there own options.
To evaluate a source, you have to look at multiple things. If the ending of the URL is .gov, .edu, or .org, then the facts on the website are more than likely true. If the URL ends with .com than anybody could have added on facts that might not be true. On the website you should be able to find the author, publisher the date, and other important things pertaining to who wrote it. If you can not find these things than it is possible that anybody could have written in it giving you the wrong idea. Finally, if you are unsure about a fact that you have found you should try to find it on at least two other websites to ensure that it is true.
When you site a source, it makes your paper look more professional and proves to your audience; that you do care what you are writing. When you site what you are writing, your audience then believes that what you are saying, isn't made up or immature.
To determine if the source is good, you can look at who is writing about the topic and if it is valid or not. If you want to find out if it is credible, another way is by looking at other sources and comparing them to see if the information is the same.
For a start you need to find who the author is and see if they are a credible source to be trusting. Then you should probably look at a couple different sites to see of the facts are right.
You can look for to see if the web has an author. To determine the quality you can see if the facts have something to back it up.You can see that if a web doesn't have an author it could possibly not be credible.
Many can evaluate sources to determine validity and reliability by asking themselves, "Does this have credible source?" "Is this opinion based?" "Can this website be edited?" These are only a few of the hundreds of questions one can ask before taking "reliable" information into their essay. Also, you can determine the quality of an online source by researching more background information on the author; examples: what does he/she do for a living? is he/she really what he/she says he/she is? how old is he/she? is he/she a he or a she? Asking these background questions on the author can give you a lot of useful information about the site. If a source is not credible, it can be edited or changed, maybe even hacked. You can never be too sure on what sources are credible, so you have to look all around the address. It is most likely credible when it ends in .org, .edu, or .gov. On the other hand, .com can have any hooligan writing on the website. Using simple rules and evaluating the website's page(s) can help you, AND YOUR RESEARCH PAPER, in the long run.
You can tell if a source is reliable and valid by looking at the dates to see when the site was made and if/when it was updated. You can determine the quality of the source by comparing other websites and gathering all the information to see what is correct and what is not. You can tell whether or not the source is credible by seeing if the information given is supported and has backup evidence.
To know if a source is credible, make sure they have a source for the information they have like test info from a university etc. A sources info must be able to be proven by showing it from another website or showing the data they received from their test/action. If it is a news sight, the source MUST be posted within the writing, It is also great to go to the original source to check the given information.
If the source is full of blog posts, it probably isn't a credible source. Especially if it's an opinion topic where you don't need information. But it probably is a credible source if it has direct quotes from people you can trust, surveys or real information, and if it has an opinion. They back it up.
It has .com, .gov, .net ,and .org. If you think it is a good source then use it but if you are not sure you use easybib or bibme. Also you can tell if the site is good or not by looking for where it came from, the dates.
You can check if it is a good source because you can go on a different site and check it it is the same or if they are different you check another site and see which one is correct you always need to back up you source.
You can check by thending like .org .net or .edu. if they end in one of those they are trustworthy. .com is not always bad but you have to be careful. Check when the site was created, when it was last updated, and if its open for the public to edit.
If someone writes about something realistic, then you can tell its a reliable source. If someone writes about something like money trees then you without a doubt tell its not a reliable source.
To determine the reliability of you source you can look at the author or when it was written. If it is an online source you can check for those two things and if is .com, .org, or .gov Usually websites that end in .org, .edu, or .gov are reliable sources. A source is probably not credible if it ends in .com or author seems to have no credibility to write about the topic. For example, you probably wouldn't trust someone who majored in math to write a detailed paper about WWI.
You evaluate by giving the person the credit they deserve.You can determine by the facts it gives you.If it not credible you know by the mistakes and errors it has.
You can tell if it's a great source by looking when it was updated or who created the site. Usually websites that are totally safe are the ones that end with .org, .edu, or .gov. If you DO NOT feel safe with the website/source do some research on the person who created the website.
To determine validity of online sources, you need to see who wrote the article, when it was written, and if the author(s) had sources, check them for reliability. If an article has no author, it might not be reliable information. If there is no facts to back anything up, such as a random fact placed in the middle, it might not be valid. If many websites have the same information, and they are reliable websites, the information could be true.
You give credits to your source so other people can check if you have plagiarized.You can tell if its a credible source or not,if its .com it really isn't credible but if it is .gov or .edu it is credible.
You give credits to your source so other people can check if you have plagiarized.You can tell if its a credible source or not,if its .com it really isn't credible but if it is .gov or .edu it is credible.
A source that has .gov or .edu is a good site to trust. If you don't cite your sources it is called plagiarism and that is illegal. You can also tell if it is a trusted source by looking at the appearance of the page.
A source that says .gov or an educational source .edu. Cite your sources of don't you could be arrested for plagiarism. You can tell by finding out who made the site.
A source that has .gov and .org are credible sites. Unlike .com, anyone can put anything in the site. that is why .org, and .gov are credible sources, and .com isn't.
A source that has .gov or .edu is a good site to trust. If you on the other hand don't cite your sources it is called plagiarism and that is illegal. You can also tell if the site is trusted by looking at the information and the appearances of the page.
How does one evaluate sources to determine validity and reliability when reading informational sources by seeing if there are real facts. How can you determine the quality of an online source to see if they don't have the edit link ? How do I know if a source is NOT credible by asking the teacher ?
Websites ending in .org, .edu, and .gov tend to be more credible than websites ending in .com. Sometimes you can tell if a site is credible just by the appearance of a website.
Here's the thing...plagiarism is bad obviously, so like don't do it. You always have to cite your sources so people know where you got your information from.
You should go off of the .com to see if it is a good site or not. Then you should site your source because if you don't you would be plagiarizing and you could get in trouble for it.
To determine whether the source is reliable or not, you have to look at a few things. Look at the ending. If the source ends with .org, .gov, or .edu, the source is most likely reliable. If the source ends with .com, look more carefully to find out whether it is reliable. Another thing to pay attention to is if it is a Wikipedia page. If it is, then the source is not that reliable because anybody can edit it and change it so that the facts are not true.
You can know if a source is credible in many ways. One is to know who wrote it and what is there background on this subject. Another is to know if many other authors have used this source and their article is credible.
Go to the about section and see if there a name and fact to back it up. If it just say what the website is about exit out of it RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
usually if it is a .gov sight it is a credible source.you can tell if a source is relyable if it is organizes proparly gramar used and there is .gov or a known sight.
You tell where you got that source so you don't plagiarize. There are multiple sources so you can compare them to each other. You know if the source is not creditable if they have lots of opinions and false facts.
Seeing if its an opinion or factual website would be one of the first things to look for. You can check the quality by looking at other websites and seeing if they have the same info. A site wouldn't be credible if it has no citations, or it has just unrealistic facts.
To determine reliability you can see that it comes with a bibliography,It cited its sources and it they give us only facts and no opinions. It tells when the information was last updated and who the author(s) is. You can tell it because of the information has had a study proven for what they just said.
It shows its sources and it has an author but even with that it must not be edited after that or revised. If its revised then there might be facts not told.So, siting sources can be really helpful.
To know if something is credible, you have to see who wrote it and how they got the information. If you look at online one website, then some of the information might be wrong. If you look at other websites, you can compare them and see which one looks credible.
You can know that the website is a reliable source if it provided facts that are backed up. If it is not not credible, there will not be a name by who it's by and a date that it was written.
You can determine if the source is reliable or valid by looking at the end of the site name like the .gov, .org, .edu, or .com. To determine the quality of the site is if you look for if its a trusted site like the history channel would be a trusted site, but Wikipedia.com or Ask.com aren't good quality.
you can check were the source came from and see if the source is useable and not just made up thing someone posted. For the quality of the site you have to look if its the actual one and not just one person used it from another source.
You have to give credit to that website and you have to check whether the facts are backed up by another website or backed up by another fact to tell if it is trustworthy or not. A source is not credible if it is like Wikipedia and has options to edit the facts or change the story.
Sources are usually more reliable when they end in .org, .gov, or .edu than websites that end in .com. The appearance of the website most of the time determines if it reliable or not. You compare websites to determine if they reliable sources. Usually looking at the dates and update on the website can help you find out if they website is a good source.
You want to look at the sites that are like .org, .gov, and .edu because real people did the research. the .com can work but always check to make sure it is correct. It could be a great research but you have to site your source.
To know if the site is reliable, you should look at who the author was. To determine the quality look at when the article was posted to make sure the facts are current and up to date. If a source is not credible, you will not find the same facts on more than one source.
I agree with the Bryanna because if the facts aren't up to date they probably aren't very reliable to this point in time. There should always be an author somebody or place to give credit to otherwise it is not a reliable source. If you can find the same fact in more than one place it is very credible.
You can determine if a source is reliable/ valid by looking at the end of the URL. Trusted ones are .gov, .org, and .edu. Gov is short for government. Org is short for organization. Edu is short for education. To know the quality of a trusted source there will be many reasons to back up a statement and I think there should be quotes and other things taken away from trusted places. I think a very good source is a primary source which is like a journal or dairy something written hands on and from experience. I think that a source isn't credible when it has many errors and very short answers and nothing to back up their statements.
You can tell if the source is reliable by comparing it with information from other websites. Normally if a website has .org, .edu, or .gov it's a credible sources. It's also a smart idea to check the date on the website. If it's from a few years ago. Different research that was recently found may be more reliable.
You can find out if the sources is reliable if it is not a blog and i doesn't end in .com to determine the quality of a source if you can look at other sites and if 10 sites say the same thing then that is probably true you can also look at the author if the author is a professor at a university then that is a good site to use there are different authors out there too. Mainly you shouldn't trust a .com web site also if most of the facts don't sound right then go to a different site
what is is talking about and how it says it, if you know something is true and it says its not it is not a good source. You can also compare it to all the other sources you see to see if they say the say thing.
A great way to tell if the website is reliable is if it ends in .gov, .org, .edu, and many more. You can tell if it has good quality on the website by checking if it is a reliable source or if other websites have the same information. By if other websites have the opposite information or if the website lets anybody put information on it.
To determined weather it is reliable or not you have to look at a few things. The first thing you want to look at is the ending and then the source of the passage you are writing about. You have to check if the source ends with something reliable like with a (.com) or a (.org).
You give credits to that source. You know it has good quality when there are facts backing up facts. You know if the source isn't credible when there are mainly opinions or the facts aren't proven to be true.
ReplyDeleteI agree because many people just make up opinions of their own and make it sound like it is a fact, and others believe.
DeleteIf you do not know if a website is not credible. The website would have .com, .gov, or .org. If it has .com it is probably not useful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that .gov or .org are probably going to be more credible sources
Deletethat .com because anyone can make a website ending with .com.
You check for the author. You should you sites that end in .net, .gov, or .org.Tthat's how you see if it is a credible.
ReplyDeleteIf the end of the sight link is .org or .net or .gov or .edu these will usually be the most reliable .If it is like Wikipedia it is editable if you have an account.It is editable by any one.
ReplyDeleteBecause it helps you learn new things about the topic you are writing about. It doesn't have good facts about the topic that you are writing about.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because you do need to be writing
DeleteI agree ,too. Because it does let you learn new things.
DeleteIf it has a .com people could add things that couldn't be true. If it has .edu it could possibly have things that aren't true, but it will probably have true facts. If it has .gov it is probably something that someone that has done a lot of research on it and has all of the sources on and doesn't really have any falls facts.
ReplyDeleteI like what you are getting at Brock.
ReplyDeleteYou should look for the Author because maybe the author will have a site. Usually the Author will have other safe sites to other Authors.
ReplyDeleteSources determine if you did or did not read it. Look at the ending. For example .org, .com. etc. If you are unsure of a website then look at another one and determine if the facts are the same or different. You definitely know if a site is not credible because it doesn't have facts backing it up.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good point about looking at the ending.
DeleteIt has to have a source with it so people know that you didn't come up with it and your source sin't from you. That it has reasonable facts and they are from a reasonable source. If it doesn't have lots a facts and that stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou have to give good credit to the source.You should make sure its a good website before you use it.If a source is good it will give you good facts about the website.

ReplyDeleteI agree.

DeleteI like that you added in that .org and .edu are good sources most of the time.
DeleteThat is true about the edu and .gov sites.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it is also important to check the date to make sure it is up to the current information.

DeleteI agree you have to see if the source is credible
DeleteCheck the end of the site and if it is .Com it means it is a little trustworthy. But things with edu and gov are more trustworthy.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct.
DeleteIf the source is full of blog posts, it probably isn't a credible source. Especially if it's an opinion topic where you don't need information.

ReplyDeleteYa also can check when it was updated to make sure the people that own the website have updated their information. I agree with you Heidi
DeleteTo determine validity of online sources, you need to see who wrote the article, when it was written, and if the author(s) had sources, check them for reliability. If an article has no author, it might not be reliable information. If there is no facts to back anything up, such as a random fact placed in the middle, it might not be valid. If many websites have the same information, and they are reliable websites, the information could be true.
ReplyDeleteYou give credits to your source so other people can check if you have plagiarized.You can tell if its a credible source or not,if its .com it really isn't credible but if it is .gov or .edu it is credible.

ReplyDeleteA source that has .gov or .edu is a good site to trust. If you don't cite your sources it is called plagiarism and that is illegal. You can also tell if it is a trusted source by looking at the appearance of the page.
ReplyDeleteA source that says .gov or an educational source .edu. Cite your sources of don't you could be arrested for plagiarism. You can tell by finding out who made the site.
ReplyDeleteA source that has .gov and .org are credible sites. Unlike .com, anyone can put anything in the site. that is why .org, and .gov are credible sources, and .com isn't.
ReplyDeleteSometimes ".com" can be credible. One example is "www.biography.com".
DeleteA source that has .gov or .edu is a good site to trust. If you on the other hand don't cite your sources it is called plagiarism and that is illegal. You can also tell if the site is trusted by looking at the information and the appearances of the page.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell that it is a good source if it has .org .edu and not .com. It is not a good source if they dont have anything to back it up.
ReplyDeletei agree
DeleteHow does one evaluate sources to determine validity and reliability when reading informational sources by seeing if there are real facts. How can you determine the quality of an online source to see if they don't have the edit link ? How do I know if a source is NOT credible by asking the teacher ?

ReplyDeleteWebsites ending in .org, .edu, and .gov tend to be more credible than websites ending in .com. Sometimes you can tell if a site is credible just by the appearance of a website.
ReplyDeleteHere's the thing...plagiarism is bad obviously, so like don't do it. You always have to cite your sources so people know where you got your information from.
ReplyDeleteYou should go off of the .com to see if it is a good site or not. Then you should site your source because if you don't you would be plagiarizing and you could get in trouble for it.
ReplyDeleteTo determine whether the source is reliable or not, you have to look at a few things. Look at the ending. If the source ends with .org, .gov, or .edu, the source is most likely reliable. If the source ends with .com, look more carefully to find out whether it is reliable. Another thing to pay attention to is if it is a Wikipedia page. If it is, then the source is not that reliable because anybody can edit it and change it so that the facts are not true.
ReplyDeleteYou can know if a source is credible in many ways. One is to know who wrote it and what is there background on this subject. Another is to know if many other authors have used this source and their article is credible.
ReplyDeleteGo to the about section and see if there a name and fact to back it up. If it just say what the website is about exit out of it RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteusually if it is a .gov sight it is a credible source.you can tell if a source is relyable if it is organizes proparly gramar used and there is .gov or a known sight.
ReplyDeleteIt has facts. There is an author. If the source can let others edit it.
ReplyDeletebut how can you tell the facts are true?
DeleteYou tell where you got that source so you don't plagiarize. There are multiple sources so you can compare them to each other. You know if the source is not creditable if they have lots of opinions and false facts.
ReplyDeleteYou look for .org, .org, or .edu, in the sources. It becomes a credible resource because people use it a lot.
ReplyDeleteSeeing if its an opinion or factual website would be one of the first things to look for. You can check the quality by looking at other websites and seeing if they have the same info. A site wouldn't be credible if it has no citations, or it has just unrealistic facts.
ReplyDeleteTo determine reliability you can see that it comes with a bibliography,It cited its sources and it they give us only facts and no opinions. It tells when the information was last updated and who the author(s) is. You can tell it because of the information has had a study proven for what they just said.
ReplyDeleteIt shows its sources and it has an author but even with that it must not be edited after that or revised. If its revised then there might be facts not told.So, siting sources can be really helpful.
ReplyDeleteTo know if something is credible, you have to see who wrote it and how they got the information. If you look at online one website, then some of the information might be wrong. If you look at other websites, you can compare them and see which one looks credible.
ReplyDeleteYou can know that the website is a reliable source if it provided facts that are backed up. If it is not not credible, there will not be a name by who it's by and a date that it was written.
ReplyDeleteYou can determine if the source is reliable or valid by looking at the end of the site name like the .gov, .org, .edu, or .com. To determine the quality of the site is if you look for if its a trusted site like the history channel would be a trusted site, but Wikipedia.com or Ask.com aren't good quality.
ReplyDeleteyou can check were the source came from and see if the source is useable and not just made up thing someone posted. For the quality of the site you have to look if its the actual one and not just one person used it from another source.
ReplyDeleteYou have to give credit to that website and you have to check whether the facts are backed up by another website or backed up by another fact to tell if it is trustworthy or not. A source is not credible if it is like Wikipedia and has options to edit the facts or change the story.
ReplyDeleteI agree you do have to give credit your source that you are using for information
DeleteI agree. A website should contain facts instead of opinions for it to be credible.
DeleteSources are usually more reliable when they end in .org, .gov, or .edu than websites that end in .com. The appearance of the website most of the time determines if it reliable or not. You compare websites to determine if they reliable sources. Usually looking at the dates and update on the website can help you find out if they website is a good source.
ReplyDeleteYou want to look at the sites that are like .org, .gov, and .edu because real people did the research. the .com can work but always check to make sure it is correct. It could be a great research but you have to site your source.
ReplyDeleteTo know if the site is reliable, you should look at who the author was. To determine the quality look at when the article was posted to make sure the facts are current and up to date. If a source is not credible, you will not find the same facts on more than one source.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Bryanna because if the facts aren't up to date they probably aren't very reliable to this point in time. There should always be an author somebody or place to give credit to otherwise it is not a reliable source. If you can find the same fact in more than one place it is very credible.
DeleteYou can tell if the site is not credible if it does not have an author, source page, or who said/wrote the information.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Preston that the site has to have credible authors and source pages.
DeleteI agree with Kali when talking about what sources end in.
ReplyDeleteYou can determine if a source is reliable/ valid by looking at the end of the URL. Trusted ones are .gov, .org, and .edu. Gov is short for government. Org is short for organization. Edu is short for education. To know the quality of a trusted source there will be many reasons to back up a statement and I think there should be quotes and other things taken away from trusted places. I think a very good source is a primary source which is like a journal or dairy something written hands on and from experience. I think that a source isn't credible when it has many errors and very short answers and nothing to back up their statements.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell if the source is reliable by comparing it with information from other websites. Normally if a website has .org, .edu, or .gov it's a credible sources. It's also a smart idea to check the date on the website. If it's from a few years ago. Different research that was recently found may be more reliable.
ReplyDeleteit helps us with our slides for research and helps support the slides that we do it's the most important.
ReplyDeleteYou can find out if the sources is reliable if it is not a blog and i doesn't end in .com to determine the quality of a source if you can look at other sites and if 10 sites say the same thing then that is probably true you can also look at the author if the author is a professor at a university then that is a good site to use there are different authors out there too. Mainly you shouldn't trust a .com web site also if most of the facts don't sound right then go to a different site
ReplyDeleteI agree with Riley you should check more than one website and the author to see it the information is true.
Deletewhat is is talking about and how it says it, if you know something is true and it says its not it is not a good source. You can also compare it to all the other sources you see to see if they say the say thing.
ReplyDeleteA great way to tell if the website is reliable is if it ends in .gov, .org, .edu, and many more. You can tell if it has good quality on the website by checking if it is a reliable source or if other websites have the same information. By if other websites have the opposite information or if the website lets anybody put information on it.
ReplyDeleteTo determined weather it is reliable or not you have to look at a few things. The first thing you want to look at is the ending and then the source of the passage you are writing about. You have to check if the source ends with something reliable like with a (.com) or a (.org).
