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.
