What strategies have you and your group used to ensure that all members are actively contributing to group assignments? Explain how you communicate, divide responsibilities, and hold each other accountable throughout the process.

  Prompt Response:  Our group is mostly held accountable for our work through deadlines on the assignments, rather than our own doing. However, we do communicate to ensure that our group is doing what they need to be in order to get all of our work done on time and efficiently. We also do lots of group collaboration, which ensures that our group is up to date on everything that needs to be done with our project. Summary: Today we limited all of our sources. Reflection:  Today I learned that deadlines are not only there for a submission grade, but also to keep people in check of their assignments.

What challenges did your group face while selecting and analyzing sources, and how did you overcome them? Be specific about how your group communicated and worked through disagreements.

  Prompt Response:  I would say the most challenging part about analyzing our group's sources for our project would be finding the best source. We struggled looking through each and every source while being on limited time, and we ultimately started pulling up all our sources at once and evaluating them that way. We then figured out the source best related to our topic question. Summary: Today our group evaluated our sources. Reflection:  Today I learned how you can be more efficient with your time.

Which part of the annotated bibliography (summary, reflection, or evaluation) was the most challenging for you, and why? Explain how that challenge helped you grow as a researcher and how it will help you when writing your research paper.

  Prompt Response:  I think the most challenging part of the annotated bibliography was the evaluation. I think this was because I was trying to avoid saying the same thing for each paragraph and source, though I had the same reason for almost all of them. That is what made this challenging for me personally. Summary: Today we started our Writeable sourcing assignment for our research essay. Reflection:  Today I learned that I struggle with simple things.

As you gathered sources, you were expected to find multiple perspectives on your topic. What differences did you notice between your sources? Explain how these differences helped you better understand the complexity of your issue.

  Prompt Response:  I found lots of differences within my sources. Some said that highly involved parenting was important, while others said that uninvolved and less restricted parenting was crucial for child development. These differences helped me understand different viewpoints and how each one wasn't necessarily wrong, but just different. Summary: Today, we started our spreadsheet on Word of our sources. Reflection:  Today I learned how different viewpoints can help people better understand the same issue.

Think about your experience using GALILEO to find sources. How was this different from how you have searched for information in the past? Explain how using specific search strategies and evaluating sources impacted the quality of what you found.

  Prompt Response:  This was different from the sourcing that I had done in the past because it was more credible, structured, and clear. I had done most of my sourcing on Google, so lots of things came up during my research process. Lots of this information was either not credible or difficult to source, so using Galileo has helped a lot. I also feel like I have a better view of sources that are actually relevant to my topic. Summary: Today in class we started our sourcing process. Reflection:  Today I learned how Google can be unreliable.
