Article Analysis Activity (Portfolio Post)
Apply the CRAAP test to the three sources listed below for your topic. Within your portfolio on the Article Analysis page, discuss each component of the CRAAP criteria fully for each source (use of your CRAAP Cheat Sheet is highly recommended). Then say if you would use the source in a paper on your research question, and present a clear and compelling argument for your decision. Remember that this last step requires you to step back, look at each element of CRAAP, and then decide what that says about the source as a whole for your particular research.
