Reflection
Meeting Criteria
The annotated bibliography has allowed me to organize and summarize information from each source. The bibliography records the articles’ central arguments and findings, allowing me to meet the summary criteria.
Helpful Strategies
Searching for credible sources involved brief research on the authors and their past works. Additionally, I ensured that all my resources were extracted from reputable databases and legal publishers.
Difficulties
One of the difficulties was that many of the credible sources had limited access, requiring the purchase. Therefore, I searched for alternative sources from the school library and databases that are open to the general public.
