Extended Essay practice: Evaluate source credibility and relevance in the EE

A student has found sources for an EE about "how exchange-rate changes affected a local tourism business". Choose the route that evaluates credibility and relevance before using them. Select the source authority, source relevance, source limitation, and citation check. Then answer this in your own words: why would this route keep the EE research process focused and authentic? AI will analyse your reasoning, evidence, research judgement, documentation, reflection quality, and expression.

Worked practice: build the decision

Work through the Extended Essay decision: subject fit, evidence handling, analysis or synthesis, then an integrity or reflection check.
