It's important to know the types of sources because some types are more believable ("credible") than others. In academic settings, we want to use the most credible sources to get an accurate picture rather than one that has been colored by someone's biases (prejudices/skewed perspectives).]]> 2017-08-01 16:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/MsDoug/worldintro/wish/179870288 MsDoug https://padlet.com/MsDoug/worldintro/wish/179870307 Use this Reference Guide to help you identify different types of sources as primary, secondary, or tertiary. ]]> 2017-08-01 16:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/MsDoug/worldintro/wish/179870307 MsDoug https://padlet.com/MsDoug/worldintro/wish/179870323 Click on the image below to open the slideshow.
