Paper Instructions
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following;
Your other assignment this week, the Unit 3 Individual Project, asks you to locate 1 source that you could use to convince someone else to take up a hobby or interest of yours. The purpose of this Discussion Board is to help you find and evaluate that source to determine whether it is credible, meaning trustworthy or reliable.
If you have found a source already, respond to the following;
- Do you think your source is credible? Why or why not?
- Consider what would make this a more credible source (e.g., a more current date, a clear author, a noncommercial Web site, and so on). Why do you think this would make a difference?
If you have not found a source yet, respond to the following;
- Do you need help from the CTU Library team? What specifically do you need help with?
- State your topic (hobby or interest), and describe what you think a credible source might be.
Tips for Completing Your Post
If you have not found a source, speak up and let your instructor and the CTU Library team know that you need help!

Sample Answer
I found an article written by medical professionals who did a study on lettering reducing stress and anxiety for cancer patients https //web-p-ebscohost-com.coloradotech.idm.oclc.org/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?vid=0&sid=8f0ede58-0769-4366-92b7-9c51264de064%40redis
This is an article that I feel is a creditable resource, as it was written by medical professionals, a study was conducted in a controlled medical setting, and the article cited their creditable resources. I like how the study explained the process of the study scientifically, including the method, procedure, results, conclusion, etc.
If more sources provide health benefits of lettering, it would help make it a more creditable source, to back up the information provided in the source I found or add more insight on additional health benefits. The article I found only studied the benefits for patients undergoing cancer treatment, and as this is a wonderful benefit for those patients, I am unsure if I will use this, as I would like to find a source that would benefit more people other than those undergoing a serious medical diagnosis.
I have searched Google, Google Scholar, and CTU’s Library, but there are not too many reliable sources. The sources I have found and relate to most, are the websites with ads, written by people with their own opinion and no research to back up their statements. I have reached out to CTU’s Library which helped, but the more I try to research and decide how I want to write my Individual Project, the more stuck I find myself. I would like to find sources that relate to my experience with lettering, including bringing out the creative side, the option to bring in extra income, or finding a job in the lettering field.
