From this reflection I have learned that unless I am an expert in the field, my claims hold no credibility. Just because I lack expertise in a field does not mean I cannot create credibility in my writings. This experience has taught me that I can use an expert’s credibility to establish my own. To do this, I just need to cite the professional stating the topic I wish to discuss and then back it up with my own justifications. I can also use statistics from credible sources and discuss them. By using experts to reinforce my findings, my statements can become reliable.
