Education: Evaluating Sources

Research and APA guide for education courses.

Evaluating Sources

No matter where you find your research, whether it's from the library or from the internet, it helps to have a good understanding of the different types of sources. It's also important to think critically about sources you use for your assignment. 

  • See the Source Types page for information on the different types of sources.
  • See the CRAAP Test page for a guide to help you determine if a source is credible.
