Navigating Information Accuracy

Each day, we encounter what seems like limitless information. Unfortunately, not all of it is truthful, and even the best sleuths can struggle to decipher what’s accurate and what isn’t. This course will help you to be more discerning about the information you are injesting, with tips to understand how to tell if a source is reliable or not.
