Question 1 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which statements describe steps that would evaluate the credibility of this source? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Check the credentials of Maria Temming.
B
Check the date of publication.
C
Determine whether the article is persuasive.
D
Decide if the article is a primary source.
E
Compare the information to other sources.

Explanation

To evaluate credibility, check who wrote the source and whether the author has relevant credentials, so checking Maria Temming’s credentials is useful. The publication date helps show whether the information is current, and comparing the article’s claims with other reliable sources can help confirm them. Whether an article is persuasive or a primary source describes its purpose or type, but does not by itself establish its credibility.
