Chapter 6

Chapter 6 focuses on taking good notes while managing the information gathered. It is very important to save websites, articles, or whatever used to obtain information so that you can go back to them in the future for more info, or to edit and revise. Taking notes along the way will not only help you save the information, but it will help you memorize some of the info. Taking notes also forces you to understand the information and put it in your own words. Doing this connects the source’s information to what you already know, which helps. There are different kinds of ways to save and organize information whether it be notes in a journal, creating bookmarks on different websites, and so on. Digital documents can be copied and pasted, but it is always important to watch out for plagiarism. When taking notes word for word, it is best to use quotations. If the information is put into a summery you still need to use a citation of the source. If you want to save conversations about the topic you can record them with a smartphone, or some kind of recording device. It is also good to make planning notes so that you have some sort of plan to go by along the way.

Chapter 5

Chapter five discusses how to evaluate sources, in what way they should be evaluated, and the proper factors used when evaluating them. It is very important to make sure the source is relevant; it is not like you would go searching for information on whaling, on a website about landscaping. The most relevant questions asked should be about the purpose and audience. When considering relevance, you should also consider whether or not the information you are seeking will address the readers’ needs, beliefs, values and interests. It is also important to evaluate the evidence of the source to determine whether or not it is wise to follow along with the source's information. It’s good to check if there is enough evidence offered, if it is the right kind, and if it is used fairly. Next up is to check the credibility of the author to make sure the information is valid. After evaluating the author, the publisher needs some poking and prodding. If the publisher is not credible, the author and information is most likely not credible. A source’s publication date is also something that should be kept in mind. The time period can favor an opinion considering when the time period is.
