KarakterløftetCritical and Accountable Use of Sources
Learn to use sources in a critical and accountable way – evaluating credibility, quoting and paraphrasing correctly, citing consistently, and handling AI honestly.
What do you want to do now?
Just enough theory to use it
The aim says two things: critical (evaluate sources before trusting them) and accountable (show your reader exactly what came from where). Critical means testing currency, authority, purpose and corroboration; accountable means correct quoting, paraphrasing and citation – because unmarked borrowing is plagiarism, even when accidental. In English 1 this carries the in-depth project and every argumentative text. AI tools raise the stakes: they are sources without accountability, so they must be checked against real ones and declared where required.
