Reflection: 

The blogs that I commented on used APA and AIP style. I am familiar with APA format but not AIP. Overall, most people did a very good job finding sources that related to their major and were very informative. I really liked how one person used AIP format since I was not familiar with that! I used MLA format and most people used MLA or APA format.

The blogs I commented on are as follows: Felicia Maldonado and Deb Ortega

  1. I think you did a good job answering the questions "Describe the purpose of the article" and "Describe the major observations/findings/results/". You were able to write the key concepts without going into specific details. I however am a little confused on how you answered "Forecast future use". The book tells us to talk about how we plan to use the article in our essays but for each annotation you wrote in "to stop racial disparities". Your answer seems to be more about how the articles hope to impact the issue in the future rather than how you plan to use the information written in the article.

    I think you did a great job with your citations, i'm not sure if you need to alphabetize it for a annotated bibliography but you will for your works cited page.

  2. A very well thought out post. I believe that this is a huge issue in America these days and many people have many opinions. My personal opinion is don't run from the law if they ask you to stop and better yet, don't do anything that would require a run in with the law. But, this is not the point of the exercise. You thought the post out well and gave valuable information on the sources that you found. Try not to be self opinionated when writing your paper.

  3. Good job w/MLA.
    I need for you to collapse your answers into paragraphs.
