when writting an essay, four resons cause a fail: the use of inappropriate sources, do plagiarism, the use of just a single source for the information or miss it`s key source.
"Bruch up" means that we have to be careful when choosing the informations to take from a source. This can be done by the critical evaluation and the reference to the academic sources.
Academic journals are usualy used to support academic research, they accessible on line or in the library. it is good to use internet for references, but sometimes it is not enough, so a library research will be necessary. A spoof website is a copy of an official or an existant website, that has a similar deseign and URL, it can be used by hackers in order to still informations for exemple.
The value of information is subjective as it is depending on what is needed for. While judging a website 3 questions should be asked: who, where and what. In order to know about the person behind the informations, it is important to look at the author details, bibliographical statement, publications, the URL can be indicative as it can give an idea about the origin and the aims of the information on the website. For example an URL ending with .educ or .ac is likely to be an academic research. Plagiarism is the act of copying parts or the whole text of someone and to give it as your own work.
