"The next thing you want to ask yourself with relation to content is did the speaker have relevant information? And when I'm talking about relevant information, I'm talking about research, I'm talking about statistics, I'm talking about supporting evidence, and there is several things that make this information relevant. First of all, is it outdated? Are they giving facts and figures from 1976 or 1958, that really there's obviously a lot more up-to-date information that could've been used? Also when we talk about relevant information, we want to talk about sources. Where did this information come from? Did it come from Time Magazine? Did it come from CNN news? Did it come from an interview with an expert, or did it come from "my friend Rosie's cousin Jim who has a friend down south who has a cousin named Tim," alright? Make sure that the use of the information, the supporting research, is relevant."
