Details of assignment
We live in the Information Age, where knowledge, facts and opinions of others are available. This might be handy especially when you need information to decide—especially a product or service decision.
Think of a product or service you can buy or use in the near future. For example, you might choose a domestic everyday product; a big purchase such as an appliance or automobile; a book that you saw published; services such as a restaurant, physician or pet groomer; or a basic smartphone app.
Locate 2 sources of information on the product or service you have chosen to help you make a purchase choice. Assess each source by replying to the following questions:
Describe the product or service and why you intend to buy or use it.
List the title, author, date and place for each source (and the Web site, if applicable).
Describe how every source helps you to decide if the goods or service should be purchased.
Do you believe the source to be credible as the audience? Why not? Why or why not?
Send your completed assignment under Unit 2 – Evaluation of Information Sources by uploading a question and answer MS Word Document and typing your responses to questions directly into the assignment field. You can utilize the optional Unit 2 Individual project template, which already includes the questions stated above, to support your assignment request.

Tips to complete this task
Consider some sites where you can search for sources of your product:
Additional reviews of that product or service
Articles rating different goods or services in the same category (e.g. “Best 10 SUVs of the Year!” or “Chicago Top Dog Groomers”)
Articles discussing the need or advantage of the product in general (e.g., “Ways to Save Money on Gear for a New Baby”)
Put yourself in the shoes of the consumer if the source is helpful (i.e., the audience). Does learning where the source comes from give your point of view greater weight?
Think about the confidence of the authors of your sources. From where did your information come? Do you think these are reputable sources of information on this product? Why not? Why or why not?
