Week 1: Clear- Course Introduction- Evaluating information

In the course introduction, I viewed the video on Evaluating information on the web. I felt like the video really helped me understand the importance of looking at information and trying to decide whether or not it is a credible source. It is one thing to read about this information, but when it is presented to you by someone it makes more sense. 


There are many things you have to remember when looking at a source's credibility. A few are listed below

• Who is the author
• What is their background
• Many agree you have to have 3 sources backing a certain claim to be deemed credible
• Don't rely on second-hand information, look for a primary source.
