Writing topic for chapter 50

Chapter 50 talks about how to evaluate sources. Hundreds of potential sources can be found by using an electronic search engine but are they all quality sources? Not all sources are reliable and accurate, so you would need to decided on some sources worth consulting. A few steps that you'll need to take to have a successful source would be to determine how a source will contribute to your writing, select sources worth your time and attention, read with an open mind and a critical eye and assess web sources with special care. Before you begin you need to do some research on your topic you want to make sure that the source that you're collecting is going to help you make your argument. Make sure you select sources that is worth your time and attention. A book's title and date of publication will often be the first clues as to whether the book is worth consulting. Some older sources might not have up to date accurate information. The next step you want to take is to read with an open mind and a critical eye. Make sure you don't let your personal beliefs over come or prevent you from seeking new ideas and viewpoints. In your reading try to distinguish from a primary or secondary source. Primary sources are original documents such as letters, diaries, legislative bills, laboratory studies, field research reports, and eyewitness accounts. Secondary sources are commentaries on primary sources. Keep in mind that a primary source does not necessary mean that its a more reliable source. Lastly, assess web sources with special care. Sources on the web might not be reliable sources so be very careful.
What I will take back with me from this chapter is to be careful on using web information. I tend to google everything that I don't have an answer for. Also another thing is that I sometime should not be so narrow minded. I need to learn to view things in a different aspect.
