During class my professor had an exercise for us to tell which source is more credible when dealing with this research. As I got really confident within telling the difference between two sources I then started second-guessing. With having to compare websites on certain topics I soon found out that paying attention to detail was really what I need to do when looking up credible websites.
Many websites are believable because they are one example is Wikipedia as many people write their facts on there is not a credible source. Many people get overlooked Buy website and how credible they are because it is good enough to what they want to hear I need to hear. Instantly when coming across an opinion they will know that is not credible. Does the basic knowledge of what everyone thinks when they research and when they tell the difference between what is credible and not credible.
Margaret Krantz an article, Helping Students use Touch with Sources Persuasively talks about facts and claims in with the differences and what people look for when dealing with them. Krantz influences to consider few strategies when before reading an article. One thing that she states is that many look up statistics as the truth instead of arguments.
“How can one are you about the date of battle or the size of armies?”(73)
She talks about many primary sources have different primary goals depending on what they were doing or talking about. As it makes sense that an advertisement would persuade you to buy the product a topic based research essay might be the subject of matter. The strategy won’t influence writers to change their plans and have a better understanding of developing a better topic for the essay and they will find reliable sources to read.
