| Summary: | Students now have access to more sources of information than ever before. Yet, as many writing instructors can attest, they are not necessarily equipped to make informed judgments about those sources. Who's Your Source? aims to fill that crucial skills gap by providing students with a rhetorical framework for evaluating the resources that they encounter in their research and for using these resources effectively and ethically in their own writing projects. This volume presents students with a set of rhetorical strategies, "The Three Rs," that they can apply to any information source and demonstrates how to use those strategies when evaluating academic and non-academic sources, print and web sources, as well as non-textual sources such as videos, photographs and visual representations of data. Who's Your Source? is an essential companion text in any course that assigns research-based writing. In addition to learning how to use sources effectively in their own writing, students who read Who's Your Source? will become more sophisticated consumers of the information sources that they encounter in their daily lives. |
