1 Good Source Bad Source ok it’s source not sauce!

2 For the following, decide… good source or bad source?

3 The admissions tutor at a university tells you over the phone ‘Our entry requirements are given a range of 240 – 300 points. We would look at your application, including your reasons for doing this course and your predicted grades and decide what conditional offer to give you. It could be anything between 240 and 300 points.’

4 A friend of your cousin who knows somebody who might works at Manchester Uni says… ‘You’ll definitely get a job if you do a degree at Manchester University.’

5 Printed information in the 2014 MMU University Prospectus BSC (Hons) Psychology needs 300 points, grades BBB excluding general studies

6 Information from the office for national statistics http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/lms/labour-market-statistics/september-2014/sty-labour-market-statistics.html

7 https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum- wage-rates

8 ‘Arrowhead’ on the student room law forum  Q What subjects do they want for law?  A Any A-Levels are fine for Law. Just make sure you get the grades! That's what's most important.

9 Person who answers the university help line number when you ring with an enquiry. The prospectus says that you need any science subject at A Level so I think they will probably count health and social care as science because it has health in it.

10 Post by Myles Bigland on Law Careers.Net  … the CILEx route is a real alternative to the LPC and training contract, giving you the chance to: experience training largely equivalent to the LPC; work at paralegal, legal assistant or basic administrative level in a law firm or in house; and become qualified and gain relevant experience without a formal training contract… http://www.lawcareers.net/Information/LCNSays/Alternative-to-LPC-is-CILEx-the-answer

11 For any source?  Up to date?  Is there a more knowledgeable or accurate source?  Fact or opinion?  If fact, have the facts been collected in a reliable way?  Does the source have a vested interest in some way eg employers or universities promoting themselves? Be objective and critical when looking at any source of information. See the links on the careers area of myday (update due any day if not already!) and the careers blog if you are stuck for sources of information.
