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:  We have not had a hard time making sure that we all do out share of the work. I think that we all understand that we have to get our work done even if we don't want to. We usually just communicate while we do the work and it goes well. We all split up work when working together but we are not strict about it. If you have an idea then you voice it and the group discusses it.  Summary: We finished the sources today Reflection:  I leaned how to summarize a lot of sources.   

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:  We had some minor difficulties. They were mostly just trying to find good sources. And then when we did find a good source sometimes someone would have already found it and used it. Also some of the sources had a lot of the same info. Over all though we had a pretty good time finding them it was just really boring.  Summary: We worked on our sources Reflection:  I learned about how to analyze and select a source. 

Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research.

  Prompt Response:  An issue that is apart of my research is bad parenting. It can come from both sides of the spectrum like super harsh or very care free. It requires a good balance of both in order to have your child grow up well. For example parents who are super harsh on their kid can cause them to become depressed or have less friends. Summary: We worked on our project  Reflection:  I learned more about parenting.

How has completing the annotated bibliography changed or clarified your understanding of your research topic? Discuss how your sources connect to one another and how they are shaping your argument moving forward.

  Prompt Response:   I think that I have learned a lot more about my topic. My perspective has stayed the same, but I think that I know more about it now. I didnt know so many poeple were so strict with thier kids. I think that is a thing where when you grow up a certain way you kinda assume that others are like that too. Summary: Finished Bibliography  Reflection:  Learned about parenting. 

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:  The worst part of the bibliography was making the summery and reflection stuff. It was not fun, and kind of pointless. I feel like I could just put the source into AI and then have it tell me what I need to know. I understand we have to think for our selfs but when handling mass amounts of info I think it is ok. Summary: More project Reflection:  I learned more parenting.

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:  There were many different perspectives that helped us to get a better understanding of the topic. I think that the perspectives were a lot broader than expected. The sources differences gave me a good understanding. Summary: We did more project work Reflection:  Learned about parenting

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:  I personally really do not like using Galileo. It really is not that hard to find good sources and I do not like that way it is formatted. Also sometimes the sources are really short. Even though you can look up specific things like academic journals, which would ne useful if I ever used them. But I do not, ever.  Summary: We did work Reflection:  I learned a new word today.
