Think of CARRDSS • CREDIBILITY / AUTHORITY • ACCURACY • RELIABILITY • RELEVANCE • DATE • SOURCES BEHIND THE TEXT • SCOPE AND PURPOSE
There are other questions in life! • Which car should I buy? • Should I take this medication? • Should my child have this surgery?
Just as we evaluate our website to surf . . . We have to take decisions on the basis of some Criteria
Evaluation is important! To draw conclusions and make new predictions.
