Students: As you conduct your research-
- IDENTIFY Important Questions
- LOCATE Information
- CRITICALLY EVALUATE Information
- SYNTHESIZE Information
- COMMUNICATE Answers
Also, ask yourself these questions about each site you visit:
- Understanding - Does the site make sense to me?
- Relevancy - Does it have the information I am looking for?
- Accuracy - Is the information correct? Can I verify it with another reliable source?
- Reliability - Can I trust it? Is the site real?
- Bias - How does the author shape it?
