How do you know if you’ve found 3-4 acceptable sources for the Final Project?

We will be working with this very question during this final week of research.  Of course, your sources must meet the guidelines in the Final Project Assignment sheets.  But there are also many more things to consider that will help you to narrow these sources down.

First, we will want to be researching and reading rhetorically as we finish up. Now that you are savvy about your topic,  you should have a sense of who you really want to use, or who will be credible or interesting to use, in your own conversation. We’ll review rhetorical concepts in class, and you will read about them in Ballenger.

Second, you will probably want to see what previous students have done.  Some have gone a bit outside of the requirements, but given their individual needs, I’ve approved  what might be slightly above the 4-source-limit or might draw from class readings. Here are some examples:
