Administering Source Evaluation Assignments

Back Back to Assigning Web Research

To provide additional practice in evaluating Web sources, prepare a list of sources and design an assignment requiring students to evaluate them. The assignment might ask students to rank the sources, evaluate them in terms of certain criteria, or answer true or false, fill-in-the-blank, or short-answer questions regarding the sources’ reliability. Whether or not the assignment receives a grade, provide feedback regarding each students’ responses. Those responses might be used to facilitate further classroom discussion on evaluating sources.
