To be able to properly analyze these claims, however, the definitions of an expert and a pure fact must be established. An expert will be defined as someone who is trained or selected to fulfil a particular role. While this definition may be flexible, it encompasses all experts that will be discussed, namely historians, lawyers, and jurors. In the context of this essay, evidence is defined as an undisputable fact which allows for conclusions to be drawn which are disputable.…

How you determined the sources to be reliable and relevant, and whether or not there is an author bias…
To determine if the sources I used in my Annotated Bibliography were reliable and relevant, I first researched where the publication originated. Both of the publications were printed in well known newspapers. Typically, printed publications are more reliable due to the cost of printing. Imagine the cost of printing something that was false in a book or a magazine and then having to retract it. Then I went on to research the writer by checking to see if they had any previous publications for that newspaper. Another step I took was to see if the newspaper was current. Checking to see if there are recent articles published also helps in determining the reliability of the source. The topics I chose were self-motivation and time management. I chose to elaborate on these topics because they are both things that I have struggled with. I used the campus library to locate both articles.…
Reliable source writings are everywhere, whether it be on a website or in a textbook all authors claim whatever they have to say is true, and they claim firsthand accounts. How can one be sure of themselves that any one of these authors is actually telling the truth? Some accounts can never truly be proven false or true, but evidence can lead some to come to conclusions themselves. In the two stories, or reliable source writings, Of Plymouth Plantation written by William Bradford; or The Interesting Narrative of the Life of OlaudahEquianowritten by OlaudahEquiano, both authors claim to have experienced what they wrote about firsthand. But how can one be sure that each is a “reliable source”. It all boils down to what the reader wants to believe.…
use the following list to help you evaluate. Answer the questions as appropriate, and then rank each of the 5 parts from 1 to 10 (1= unreliable, 10=excellent). Add up the scores to give you an idea of whether you should use the resource (and weather your teacher would want you to!).…

The importance in studying primary sources is because the more original a source is generally is the more reliable source. It is important to study primary sources to get more accurate information. A secondary source can be less accurate due to the actual historical event changing a little every time the story is passed on from person to person. Hearing stories through the, ‘‘grapevine’’ as it’s called can be very unreliable.…
You must consider where a source comes from and how relevant it is to your purpose, this is especially true for online sources. Most “.gov” and “.edu” websites are credible because they are risking the credibility of their school or department if they publish uncredible information. The riskiest sites are those that are “.com” sites because anyone can own that URL and anyone can publish anything they like without review. Most information physically printed through a publishing company is more likely to be credible than a random “.com” site because the publishing company is at risk as well as the editors. The most important thing to consider is the source publication place and how it relates to what it is you are looking for. Keep in mind that you should never assume anything is credible without proper research.…

Describe cultural attitudes toward and presumptions about whether a person can own words and knowledge. Have modern trends such as globalization and easy access to information affected these presumptions? Consider how academic integrity is also applicable in an organisation. Do you believe the same presumptions hold true in your career as an employee of an organisation? How might this assignment be relevant in your workplace? Provide an example situation in which you were, or may be, asked to provide research and reference on specific materials for a sector of your organisation. You may wish to do additional research to support your views.…

In the debate of whether or not the Internet is the savior modern society or is it the vehicle that will deliver man to his inevitable decline back to stone hammers and mud huts. The question arises regarding how much faith someone can place in a system that is as vulnerable and unstable as the World Wide Web. Personally I believe the infrastructure of the Internet is grossly primitive and will need many more years of development to convince me it has evolved into a credible, viable entity I can embrace as reliable and safe.…
