Forms of Evidence Facts, e.g., Statistics Examples Hypothetical Examples Literal Examples Testimony – authoritative opinion

Tests of Evidence Source credibility Source bias Recency Internal Consistency Completeness Corroboration (external consistency)

Citing Evidence According to a 2013 evaluation by the University of Chicago, competitive sports create lasting improvements in boys’ study habits and mental maturity. Thus participating in interscholastic sports helps students perform better in their future career. Fortune Magazine finds 95% of Fortune 500 executives participated in high school athletics. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth found that men at age 32 who have played high school sports are paid 31% higher wages than men who have not.

Research Methods Keys to effective research: Do it early Good search terms Quotations, keywords, truncation, maximize operators Use the advanced search Be aware of how results are displayed Focus on more than one source Effective filtering of results Disregard irrelevant articles Read summary; first/last paragraph Apply the tests of evidence, e.g., recency, bias, etc.
