5 sources evaluated + 6 CRAAP+ criteria applied + decisive verdict = mastery; 4 evaluated = practicing
Hints
  1. Currency / authority / accuracy / purpose / source-diversity / source-type variety.
  2. Be decisive — capstone time is limited; don't deliberate forever.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Keeps all 5 sources without considering replacements.
  • Misses source-type variety check (5 websites = fail).
