**The **
Applying the C.R.A.A.P. Test is a good way to evaluate the quality and value of a source (book, article, website, etc.) before the information. **C.R.A.P. stands for:** //**A.Accuracy**// (is the information consistent with other sources and what you already know? Are there grammatical, spelling or typographical errors?)
 * C. **//**Currency**// (when was the article published?)
 * R. **//**Relevance**// (does it supply information that you need?)
 * A. **//**Authority**// (the source of the information...are they qualified to speak on their topic? is evidence provided to support the argument? Is the website a .edu? .org? .com?)
 * P. **//**Purpose/Point of View**// (the reason the information exists...does it inform, argue, entertain, persuade, promote a point of view?)
