academics have skills to interpret what they hear and non academics just listen to someone like them
strangely enough biographical recounts are used more in academic study and deemed more objective- I disagree judgements have been made by the writer than maybe the subject did not feel
relevance: how relevant is the information? You need to ensure that your biographical recount provides the right kind of information about your studies, i.e. is it from the right country, is about a child within the appropriate age range?
reliability: how reliable is the author? You need to establish whether the author is credible in making their claims.
objectivity: are the claims in the recount objective? It is important to understand the degree of objectivity used in producing biographical recounts, in particular the interests and motivation of the author. As we saw above, Megan’s story was designed with professional social workers in mind.
