  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
