Learning objectives

After completing this unit, you must be able to do the following:

 Decide whether information is relevant or not.  Decide what information is important and what not. This can influence the choice of information for a certain history topic, or more specific, a question that needs to be answered.  Distinguish between relevant and important. Some information may not be relevant to the question while other information may be relevant, but not as important or useful.
