Analyzing Sources

Back Back to Analyzing
If an author uses outside sources to back up what s/he is saying, analyzing those sources is an important critical reading activity. Not all sources are created equal. There are at least three criteria to keep in mind when you are evaluating a source:
  • Is the Source Relevant?
  • Is the Source Credible?
  • Is the Source Current?
