Essays / Primary and secondary source incorporation [2]
Dear friend,
I want to send you a short passage, took from a trusted TOEFL book. You can use this for reference.
The scholarly method involves careful analysis and interpretation off information. Information must come from somewhere. These are the sources. There are three types of sources: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary sources come from documents created by people who witnessed events first hand. A person's diary is an example of a primary source. When information from primary sources is interpreted by others, it is called a secondary source. For example, if someone read that diary, compared it to newspapers from the same period and wrote about it, this would be a secondary source. If someone then read that secondary source and created a new document that would be a tertiary source.
