- 1) A peer-reviewed article which addresses some aspect of the social problem. (with hyperlinks)
- 2) A credible internet source which addresses some aspect of the social problem. (with hyperlinks)
- 3) A non-credible internet source which addresses some aspect of the social problem.(with hyperlinks)
Students should briefly (each source write up (summary and critique) should be between 250-350 words).

Example:
if I were interested in the social problem of drunk driving, I might track down the following sources: A reputable internet source (the Center for Disease Control's website on Impaired Driving: http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/impaired_driving/), a less reputable website (Mother's Against Drunk Driving, as an interested party site: http://www.madd.org/), and a peer-reviewed article (Chi, G., Zhou, X., McClure, T. E., Gilbert, P. A., Cosby, A. G., Zhang, L., ... & Levinson, D. (2011). Gasoline prices and their relationship to drunk-driving crashes. Accident Analysis & Prevention, 43(1), 194-203:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001457510002423).
I'd offer a summary and critique of each source credibility under its citation.
