• Textbook: Chapter 6, 7

S e l f – A s s e s s m e n t Q u e s t i o n
Before you submit your initial post, make sure to read the assigned chapter. Then, ask
yourself the following: Did the article in Chapter 6 of the text seem credible and reliable?
Why? Be very specific:
• Was it because it is in a textbook?
• Because it was written by a learned and respected person?
• Because of content in the article?
• Because of your previous knowledge of the SPLC?
I n i t i a l P o s t I n s t r u c t i o n s
For the initial post, address the following:
• Conduct additional research on the SPLC. Did your opinion alter in any way?
Why?
Only after you have done some responsible research should you begin to respond to
the discussion prompt. The discussion is not about the SPLC; it is not about Dr.
Facione. It is about what you have learned about forming opinions.
Your post must answer this question:
• How do you define the term “expert”?
Your post must also discuss the following questions:
1. How important are facts in the process of forming an opinion? Explain what you
believe to be the purpose or function of facts in making a judgment.
2. How did you respond to the self-assessment question? Since doing further
research, have you re-thought the way in which you assess credibility and
reliability? What is the importance of factoring the recency of a reference or
opinion (i.e., how old is it?) into an assessment of credibility and reliability?

See full FAQWe complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.
We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.
Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.
After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.
