I can always find good credible sources for evidence (5). I am very good at analyzing information for its relevance to my research (6). I, for the most part, feel comfortable using secondary and primary sources in my own research (5). I am neutral when it comes to understanding the main idea and intention of the writer in an argument (4). I would like to improve on detecting problems in an argument, explain, and define them (3). I am neutral when it come to explaining my thoughts regarding an argument convincingly and logically (4). I am willing to change my stance on an issue provided by credible research if it convincing enough (5). I did not think about considering genre before I begin my writing process (3). I am neutral when it comes to thinking about the audience in the contextualization of research (4). My process of judging the accuracy and validation of sources is I check 3 other sources to see if the main evidence is similar. I usually type out my assumption or bias in a search engine and I see what sources support or go against my assumptions or biases. I scan through my rough draft and notes and see what points stand out and could make a strong impact for my final paper.
