In the CRAAP test, what does the 'P' specifically assess about a source?
In the CRAAP test, the 'P' specifically assesses the Purpose of the source. The 'Purpose' element of CRAAP asks you to consider the author's or publisher's intention in creating the source. It encourages evaluation of the potential biases, agendas, or perspectives that may influence the content presented. This includes understanding whether the source aims to inform, persuade, entertain, sell, or advocate for a particular viewpoint. By examining the purpose, one can better understand potential biases and assess the objectivity and reliability of the information.
