Evaluating Sources PowerPoint

Class Activity:
SOURCE #1
SOURCE #2
SOURCE #3
SOURCE #4

Homework:
  • Your Summary Assignment is due before class on Monday. See the link above for details. I have included a grading rubric that you should look at before submitting your final copy. Upload the file to your Student Dropbox Folder and name it Summary_NetID. This summary is worth 10% of your final grade, so please be sure to put in good effort.

  • Find at least TWO more credible sources that you plan on using in your Business Research Report. (You may decide later not to use these sources.) *Use the Evaluation Questions that you came up with today to be sure that they are reliable.* Create an APA References Page with your two sources, and the one source that I provided for you (THREE SOURCES MINIMUM). Upload your References Page to your Student Dropbox folder before class on Monday and name the file: BusinessR_NetID

Note: You can use www.bibme.org to help you create your References Page, but be sure to set it to *APA* and be sure to check each citation after you are done. BibMe isn't always accurate and I will be checking for every detail!
