When you do research, it is essential for you to evaluate the information you have found, especially if you've found it on the free internet or on social media sites. There are several different methods that you can use to help guide you on the evaluation process. All of these methods will help guide you through three simple steps to evaluate different types of information:
Know who or what (e.g. institution, organization, company, etc.) is giving you the information.
Read / watch / listen to the information with a critical mind.
Verify / confirm the information.
