ABSTRACT

Evaluating means assessing the value of something. Information is knowledge that

has some practical value or that leads to greater understanding. In order to write

non-fiction, often you have to use facts and ideas that you’ve found elsewhere – in

books, on the Internet and so on. If you don’t check (or evaluate) those facts, your

explanation, discussion or instructions could be weakened if they are inaccurate or

just plain wrong.
