For this discussion topic, you will post four sources that
you consider possible sources for your research project. At least two
of these should be scholarly journal articles.
For each source, please post your answers to the following:
- Provide an APA-style
reference citation for the source. Remember that you can use CiteFast if
you wish. - What type of document is
the source (journal article, news article, government document, etc.), and
how can you tell? - When considering the
usefulness of this source for your research project, what positive and/or
negative features can you identify? Factors you may wish to consider
include focus, credibility, detail, and audience. - Optional question: Feel
free to comment on what search strategies you employed to find your
sources.
Consider the sources posted by one of your peers. Would you
consider all of the sources to be credible if you encountered them in a
research paper? Would you give more weight to one over another? Why or why not?
