FIT Annotated Bibliography Assists in Tracking Information About Research Reflection

Reflection, please address each of the following questions:

How does your Annotated Bibliography reflect your experiences as a researcher and information creator as they were at the beginning of the course?

Look at the types of sources you included in the Annotated Bibliography. What types of sources do you see? Are they mostly scholarly (like peer-reviewed articles or scholarly books), popular or non-scholarly (like news articles and websites), or an even mix? What influenced your choice of sources when you were originally completing this work?

Think about our module on evaluation and authority (Week 11). What informed your decisions to choose these sources over other ones you might have used at the time? In retrospect, what criteria did you apply for choosing your sources?

• How did you choose to give credit to your sources? Why did you did it this way?

Looking back, what role did the context of the research you were conducting play in your decisions about the types of sources you used, how you evaluated these sources, and how you gave credit to them? That is: did you view the Annotated Bibliography research in an academic context or more of a personal information context? And how did that impact the choices you made?

If you were to do this Annotated Bibliography over again, how would you use what you’ve learned in this course to change your work? Why would you make those changes? (If you wouldn’t make changes, why not?)
