The evidence must be appropriately cited on the Reference Page, and the photos used NEED to show accuracy, currency, and authority. Please use different images so they can be appropriately cited and fit the required criteria.
1. Make sure that your image is specific to the criterion. For example, find an image that speaks to authority.
2. In the topic sentence, my professor is looking for specific transitions such as “first of all,” “secondly,” “lastly,” or “Next,” or something similar. A transitional expression reiterates the claim of reliability and then presents the specific subtopic. So, a topic sentence can actually be quite simple, and I prefer it to be shorter rather than longer.
3. All definitions for the criterion must have in-text citations from a scholarly source.
4. The bullet point evidence must have in-text citations to support your claims. For example: “The website’s contact information is useful and accessible. Leaving a voicemail on their main line at 415-662-1600 will be reviewed by a Foundation team member but the best way to reach them is by emailing them at info@edutopia.org (Edutopia, 2024). This demonstrates authority by having many ways to contact them for website issues or reviews rather than being unreachable. ”
5. Please remember that the 3rd bullet point for your evidence needs to be evidence from an outside source.
Please make sure all sources used are accessible to the public, have good DOIs, and don’t cost money to read articles. And feel free to remove any citations or articles that you find unnecessary. I have provided a Sample guide on how my instructor would like the paper to look and how to cite images properly. Let me know if you have any questions!
