Reflection for assignment 6

Assignment 6 was very useful to complete. This assignment was to make an annotated bibliography for a specific topic. I really enjoyed doing this because it refreshed how to do it. This is a very important skill to have because for a lot of papers, especially research papers, most teachers require an annotated bibliography. This assignment also helped to narrow down sources for a paper. It allowed us to see the strengths and weaknesses of a website to determine if we will use it for our paper or not. One common problem I was finding was that certain websites had barely any information on them. They were designed poorly and I was unsure if they were a reliable source. Certain sources were much more creditable and showed evidence of that. The most reliable sources were .edu, or .org websites. A lot of the .coms were very general and did not provide good information. This assignment was very helpful and is definitely needed in the field of teaching. Students are being introduced to works cited pages and bibliographies at a much younger age and it is important for them to learn how to do these things to avoid plagiarism. They also need these skills for almost every class they will take from middle school onto higher education.
