Evaluating information Imagine you are writing an essay on ‘Network Security’. Have a look at the 4 items that you have been given and consider the following: Which items are the most relevant to your essay? Which items would be no use? Which item has the most academic authority? Are any of the items bias? Which item is the most current?
29
Authority : Who is the author? What is their knowledge base/qualifications? How have they carried out their research? Relevance : Is this what I need? Will it answer my question? Is it at the right level? Intent : What is the purpose of information e.g. financial gain, propaganda, academic etc? Objectivity : Balanced view? Opposing views represented? Links to supporting information? Currency: How old is this information? When was it last updated and by whom?
30
What is Plagiarism? Copying or re-wording someone else's work (ideas, words, diagrams or pictures) without acknowledging that they are not your own Copying work from another student – even with permission from that person Using your own previous work in another assignment without acknowledging it A form of cheating and a serious academic offence
