Rules for Using Evidence Ethically

By: Morgan Greenwood, Audrey Shobert, and Sam Cave

1. Have rights to evidence and give credit.
     When you use a piece of evidence be sure to give credit to the source.  Also, be sure you have permision to use the source, for example from a database.

2. Check credibility of a source.
     When you use a source be sure that it is credible and correct.  Double check the information you get off of any website or book.

3. Do not bend and shape evidence.
     Using evidence honestly is important.  Don't make the evidence fit your claims.

4.  Photoshop is a no-no.
     Do not create evidence of your own with photoshop or other programs. It's dishonest and unethical.

5. Finding broad proof.
     Do not stick to only one point.  Be sure to use multiple points, and don't leave out something that may  be important just because it may oppose your claims.
