An important part of studying mathematics is understanding how to evaluate credible sources and data sets. If a data set or a mathematical source is not credible, it will negatively impact your analysis. In this journal assignment, you will reflect on how to evaluate various sources for credibility.

Directions

For this journal activity, you will review the sources linked in the Supporting Materials section. Then, use the provided checklist in the Supporting Materials section to determine if the source is credible or not credible and explain your rating choice.

Note: The sources may be unrelated to your project. This activity serves as an exploration of evaluating the credibility of sources.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Identify a rating for each source.
   1. You can rate each source as not credible, somewhat credible, or very credible.
