Our lesson in week 5 is all about Judging Validity of Evidence. Each piece of evidence from the fiction or nonfiction work that may be used to back up ideas, arguments, opinions, or thoughts is known as text evidence. When we reference textual evidence, we paraphrase, quote, or allude to a specific section of the text to back up or support our beliefs. Finding textual proof, on the other hand, may not be sufficient. The evidence needed to establish that a statement or what is being said is true must be valid. The soundness and power of an argument are referred to as "Validity." There's a way to determine the validity of evidence. The first question is, who is the author of the source? Second is, how did the source get its information? Lastly, What if the source you have found does not have references?
I learned that Validity is a judgment based on various types of evidence. The relevant evidence includes the measure’s reliability, whether it covers the construct of interest, and whether the scores it produces are correlated with other variables they are expected to be correlated with and not correlated with conceptually distinct variables. The highlight of the topic is to be judged based on the planned usage of the data and should come from various sources.
