 Part Three;
I found this assignment irritating at times. I still have a limited subject base, and I am having a hard time expanding it, even looking in the subject line. By looking there it seems to take me on a rabbit trail and ends up not helping much.

  1. Lori,
    I think you misunderstood the assignment. Before you do your final project lets have a little chat so you can be sure to get full points on that. It looks like you followed some of the directions for Unit Seven when you did this assignment and not unit 8. You do have some good information but you do not have annotations that are both descriptive and evaluative.

    Please read the class email to get for more information on subject specific databases. You have 2 but the Web of Science is not specific to one topic... though it sounds as if it should be.

    Hang in there... we are almost done.
