Hi, all! This week is our first online class of the quarter. Please finish this class before our next meeting on October 24th as Assignment 4 will be due and is based on what you learn in this online class.
So the class is pretty simple. Please click the links below to view the online videos/tutorials that cover this week’s topics: identifying different types of sources and source evaluations. After you are finished watching the videos, please leave a comment on this post about something new you learned (this comment will count as your attendance and participation points for the week). Then you should complete assignment 4. Also, don’t forget to do your weekly reflection.

Source Authority and Evaluation (CARDIO)
If you have any questions, please email me. Just as a reminder: this week I’m away at a conference, but I will be checking my email and will get back to you.
In one of the videos, I learned how to evaluate sources by using CARDIO(Currency, Authority, Relevance, Depth Objectivity and Info type).
I saw all of the videos. I didn’t know there were alot of different information types. I also learned a lot from the advanced formats video.
The 1st video is about defining informations. Factual, analytical, objective, and subjective info. represents different kinds of information you will get. Other kinds of info like primary, secondary, scholary, popular can tell how reliable are they.
The 2nd video presentation is showing us what are some of the organizational site we can find online. One good example would be has contents on it and a clearly listed of author and the date…..
The 3rd video is more likely about carefully choosing the right informations you need. Since there are many you need to look for. While doing research paper we can use the C.A.R.D.I.O. to identify our info we found and see if it is really something we need.
The videos that I watched taught me a lot of information in just a short amount of time. I learned how we specifically take in data and information and how we percieve it. I also learned how we can take our primary source than lead it onto a secondary source in our work.
I saw all the videos mainly learned the minute difference between, knowledge, data, and facts. Pretty interesting.
I finish watching all the links and pick up a lot of knowledge from them. I never noticed that there are that many different type of information out there. All I know was, if it’s there, you can use it. Now I know I should not pick certain websites for research papers.
I learned about C.A.R.D.I.O: Currency, Authority, Relevance, Depth Objectivity and Information type. I also picked up on little things like being the authoritative figure with information because the have KNOWLEDGE which means that they kbow more on that subject than the rest of the people present. Learned minor things like Facts are concrete and can be provable. Also learning that data is more or less the building blocks of a larger piece of data.
I learned about different types of information, and how they are all relevant to each other. I also learned that some types of information, are not data. Such as knowledge.
I learned how data, facts and knowledge could all be used to write research papers or any kind of writing. I also learned that there is a lot of information that could be used in writing, it taught me that there is no limit to the information that could be found and used. I also learned that organization is very important to make sense in our writing.
I learned that cardio isn’t just about the heart and lungs, it’s how good a source is. I think I kind of knew the way it works, but it’s nice to have an acronym to go with it. It’ll help me remember.
After watching all of the videos, I primarily learned that Information is defined as Data, Information, Facts, and Knowledge.
Also, that C.A.R.D.I.O stands for Currency, Authority, Relevance, Depth Objectivity and Information type. It’s basically a useful tool to use when writing a research paper.
is really interesting all this information that we have and sometimes we don’t used
this information is really helpful ..
Just watched the videos (finally), and here is what I learned:
-The four types of information
-What I should and should not use for sources
-What to look for in a source
-What C.A.R.D.I.O. stands for (Currency, Authority, Relevancy, Depth, Information type, and Objectivity)
-It is, at the very least, extremely diffficult to write a purely objective article
