Evaluating Your Resources

Do your sources pass the CRAAP Test?

Evaluating your sources is a critical step in the research process. If you seek information online (AKA just Google your topic) the results are often too much information, not all of it is useful, or  reliable. The CRAA​​P Test involves a series of questions designed to help you evaluate online information and determine if the sources should be used for class projects, papers, or presentations.
