Evaluating Sources
You will review the following three sources, and answer the following questions:

- What kind of publication is the article found? Look for more information of the site, not just the article itself.
- Who is the author? Note their credentials, or authority, not just their name.
- Who is the primary audience? Vocabulary and background knowledge required to understand the article might help you identify the audience.
- What does it look like? The structure can give you clues about what kind of article it is.
- How do they treat their references? Some articles have formal reference lists, while others mention their sources in the text of the article.
