How can you determine a sources credibility?
To generalize the prospective audience, a writer must first establish a standard argument. Once an argument is determined the proper research must be completed to solidify an argument. Proper research techniques can make the process a whole lot easier. From knowing the information needed, to choosing the proper sources. A cited source’s credibility can make or break an argument. A writer can solidify their point with a strong source or lose their audience with a weakened source. With that being said, the question of what makes a source credible or non-credible comes into play. The different types of sources play a role in the versatility of the argument; whether it is from the internet, a book, or a self conducted interview or survey. Overall the credibility of an argument is determined by the quality of the sources.
Which form of sources holds the highest credibility: Survey, Interview, Book, or the internet?

I understandably agree, i would think that the internet in today's society is often used and at the same time can be less credible. As of articles and certain books(besides history books and things ofthat nature) can be very bias! thats something that you should look out for. so its going to be pretty tough!

Thats a good point, the difficulty in obtaining a universal credible source is palpable...
