Critical Thinking (ACORD): Evaluation Demo
Channel: Sims Library Research Help - SLU
Date: 2022-07-14

In this video, I discuss each of the evaluative criteria of ACORD and demonstrate how they appear in two different sources. These criteria help us to evaluate sources to determine their quality.

Evaluation and critical thinking are crucial to research, but require some additional time to fully explain and demonstrate. Since this video is longer than normal, you may want to watch it in two sittings.

To help with navigation, here is a list of time codes for each of the ACORD criteria. I hope it allows you to easily locate the portions of the video you may need to review.
