- Do you think that you found the 4 most relevant articles to your project? Why or why not?
- I don't think I found the 4 most relevant articles, just because after I found 5 articles that related to our topic I transitioned to working on the bibliography assignment. I do believe my articles are very good but may not be the absolute best. If our class time was allotted to selecting and analyzing the 4 best articles, it would be a different story but I had to be smart about how much time I put into researching journals so I could start working on the assignment.
- Do you feel confident that you could apply the information literacy skills you practiced in this assignment to other assignments, courses, or research projects. Why or why not?
- Definitely. An information literacy class was required as a part of my first year seminar and I still remember most of the things they taught us two years ago. A lot of what I learned in class was review but at the same time I learned a lot and feel very confident in my research ability (especially in the sciences).
- What did you find difficult or frustrating about this assignment?
- Getting all of the little information about copyright, what kind of publisher it is, whether LMU has paid a fee, etc...was very tedious and annoying. It's hard to find aspects of this information unless the paper or website says it right on the front page, and doing this for 4 different articles was both difficult and very time consuming.
