1. Source Identification
The introduction of this paper will be introducing the source:
❒ Have you recapped your research paper’s central argument?
❒ Have you provided the author’s name?
❒ Have you provided the source title?
❒ Have you provided the context (where you found the source, where it was originally published, who sponsored it, etc.)?
❒ Have you ended the introduction with a thesis statement that sums up your evaluation of the source’s credibility and usefulness?
2. Source Evaluation
❒ Have you provided an evaluation on the source’s credibility in at least one full paragraph?
❒ Have you used specific, accurate page/paragraph-numbered examples from the source to illustrate your evaluation on credibility?
❒ Have you provided a judgment on the source’s usefulness in at least one full paragraph?
❒ Have you used at least two specific quotations (cited with accurate page/paragraph-numbers) from the source to illustrate your evaluation of its usefulness?
❒ Did you include a reference list with complete source data such as author(s)’ name(s), date of publication, title, publication outlet or journal, an URL address (if available)?
The introduction of this paper will involve introducing the source: After you recap your research paper’s central argument argument, provide the author, the title, and the context (where you found the source, where it was originally published, who sponsored it, etc.)
You will then go on to evaluate the source on two levels:
Credibility (at least one full paragraph): Using the information in this unit as a guide, evaluate the source’s authenticity and reliability. Look at all the information that you can find about the source to establish the author’s (or sponsor’s) trustworthiness.
Usefulness (at least one full paragraph): Using a combination of summary and analysis, examine the source on a critical level. Determine what the source’s purpose (thesis) is, and how it arrives at that goal. Examine its value to you and the project you are working on. How will it help you prove your own points? How might it come in handy to back up a claim (or address a counter-claim)?
Finally, you will include a conclusion which shows your final assessments on both counts.
This is the source you will use.
