There are numerous resources available online containing information on how to evaluate the credibility of different sources of information, especially on the difference between scholarly and popular articles.
To that effect, consider how you would rate each of the sources you have used, while undertaking the preceding reading assignment, in terms of academic credibility.
Use the following 5-point scale:
1 = little or uncertain about academic credibility, and 5 = high academic credibility or certainty of academic credentials
Then provide a brief justification for your rating of each source.
Please do not directly quote from any of the online sources; what we’re interested here is your opinion.
