Credible versus Non-Credible Sources

Non Credible source







  • I know that this is not a credible source because


  • It doesnt have any known author


  • It does not provide relative information to my topic


  • There is do date provided to validate if it is recent



Credible Source


This is a credible source because

  • The author used personal experience

  • He took statements from other prisoners

  • He used recent data

  1. Angel,

    You have chosen two strong examples and outlined the key features that make them credible or non-credible. I really want to read the book you have cited here.

    Clearly you do not have 300 words. You could reach the word count easily by including information from the actual source. For instance, what is a quote from the author's personal experience? What is the recent data he uses, and how does it support his thesis? I'm really curious. Please help me out and teach me!
