Week 3 – Validity and Reliability

Originally published here.

For week 2 of Critical Skills we had to research into what is the best way to cook an egg. We then had to publish a report on our findings and conclude what we felt was 'the best way to cook an egg'. For this weeks assignment, we had to critique our published report - stating how reliable I feel it was and look into the finer details of the report.


As we are reaching the halfway point of the course, I think that I am most definitely a more confident researcher and I know now the correct steps that I need to follow to make sure that a piece of information that I use comes from a reliable source and is reliable enough to use in an assignment. This has made me a much stronger interdependent learner as it means that I am able to successfully to conduct a research project and not be worried about what the sources that I use.
