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: The strategy my group used was we split the assignment up into four parts then assign each part to a member. Nobody didn't needed to hold the other accountable because we all did our work and no one was lazy. The communication part was just us making sure the work was split properly between four people. Summary: We did an assignment on writable. Reflection: I learned how to write a prompt page.

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: The only challenges my group faced while selecting and analyzing sources was trying to find the 7 sources that had the most useful information for our topic. We overcame them by making a summary of each of our sources. We communicated to each other then chose after that there weren't any disagreements. Summary: We wrote the evidence for the 7 sources we chose. Reflection: I learned about finding evidence.

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: The most compelling issue to my research topic is look at how population growth affects the environment. I found it interesting because the countries that have a rapidly increasing population are losing resources very quickly. The main countries that I see this has happen to in my research is less developed countries in Africa or India. Summary: Absent Reflection: Absent

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: Doing the Bibliography has clarified my understanding of my research topic by deepening my source of each source that I have used. My sources connect to each other because they all talk about the causes and effects of population growth around the world and how to prevent.  They are building my argument of how population growth affects the world.  Summary: We continued working on the Annotated Bibliography. Reflection: I learned how to correctly make a Annotated Bibliography. 

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: The part of the Bibliography that was the most challenging for me was the evaluation part. It was the most challenging part because I didn't know how to tell if a source was credible. This challenge helped me grow as a researcher because it showed how to see if a source is credible. It will help me when writing a research paper because I will know how to tell if a source is credible or not. Summary: We worked on a assignment on writable. Reflection: I learned how to write a Annotated Bibliography.     

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: The difference I noticed between a lot of my sources were some of them were more factual about population growth by showing the statistics. This helped me understand the magnitude of population growth in some countries. Another difference is some focused more on the affect of overpopulation on the environment. This helped me understand why population growth is a big problem for the Earth. Summary: We talked about different sources. Reflection: I learned about finding the right source.

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: This is different from how I have searched for information in the past because I would just search up things on Google. I would also use sources that didn't have credible information. Using specific search strategies and evaluating sources has made the quality of the sources I found much more valuable than in the past. Summary: We GALILEO to find sources for our prompts. Reflection: I learned how to research for information the right way.
