Before we even begin, we do need to talk about how to select quality and worthwhile materials. How does one choose? One way is to use an existing measuring device to see how something measures up. Like using a thermometer or ruler, if the gauge is good, the measurement will also be good (if the tool is used correctly!).
In this case, we are going to use the CRAAP Test criteria to measure the quality and worthiness of our sources.
