Assignment: Building Validity, Determining Reliability
Your task is to find one source on social media that discusses one"fact" of interest to you.
Your source must present information that supports or refutes the "fact" (e.g., what is the rate and why is this the rate). As you complete the assignment, consider the tools that make evidence valid (a correct fact) and reliable (source is to be trusted). What convinces you of an argument's validity and reliability? How do you determine if information is fact or opinion?
1. Print a copy of the source, including the information the author uses to make his/her argument (if it is a long article, 2-3 significant pages are enough).
2. Write a one-page review of the source/article. Include:
a. a half-page summary (double spaced) that presents the main points of the source. You should include relevant facts noted in the source (studies, charts, photos, data) and the source of information (who is the author, what is his/her training/background, who is the publisher).
b. half-page assessment (double spaced) for that discusses whether you are convinced or not convinced by the source, and explain why.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
