To determine which kinds of sites are not credible because anyone can change the information on them, such as wikis, you need to be aware of the concept of user-generated content. Sites where anyone can create or edit content, like wikis, are considered less credible because there is a higher risk of inaccurate or biased information being published.
When researching a topic, you should look for trustworthy sources. Trustworthy sources are credible, meaning they are reliable and have a good reputation for providing accurate information. Emotionally charged sources can be biased, so they should not be considered trustworthy.
In terms of credibility, academic websites are generally considered the most credible out of the given options. Academic websites usually have rigorous standards for information and are reviewed by experts in the field.
To identify a source as biased or not credible, you can consider the following criteria:
1. Emotional language: Biased sources often utilize strong emotional language to persuade the reader, rather than presenting balanced and objective information.
2. Credentials: A credible author is an important indicator of the source's reliability. Look for authors who are experts in the field or have relevant qualifications.
Spelling errors and documented sources are not direct indicators of bias or credibility. However, the presence of spelling errors might suggest a lack of attention to detail in the source, while documented sources can enhance the credibility of the information presented.
Remember, even with these guidelines, it is essential to critically evaluate sources and cross-reference information from multiple reliable sources to ensure accuracy and objectivity.
The correct answers are:
- emotional language
- spelling errors
1. credible
2. books
3. academic websites
4. emotional language AND spelling errors
