Review the following media content to learn more about the types of research available and their level of reliability: Types of Research
Answer the following prompts in paragraph format, while citing any relevant support from the readings:
What is your potential thesis statement for the Final Project?
What search terms and search limiters in relation to your topic will yield a reasonable amount of results in the library?

Whom would you conduct an interview with about your topic and why would you choose this person? Try to select a person you may actually be able to contact in person, on the phone, or via the Internet. You will be conducting an actual interview in Unit 4, so it helps to start preparing now.
What listening strategies, as discussed in the Julian Treasure video, would you need to invoke when acquiring research by way of an interview, video, or audio recording? How might you need to alter your listening strategies for each type of source?
What are key criteria for evaluating the credibility of sources you find? How is this criteria unique to your topic?

What were the consequences (or potential consequences) of taking action on this unreliable information?
What have you learned from your encounters with unreliable information? How will you avoid making a similar mistake in the future?
