Hi everyone.
With the annotated bibliography assignment coming up, I’m doing a lot of reading (I’m sure all of you are as well). I’m finding a lot of good information regarding my topic in the scholarly articles I have acquired. But one fear I have is figuring out which information is the most relevant and useful for my topic, and which information is not. Most of the sources that I am reading have tons of good information but I want really want to pick out the information that will strongly support my argument. In order to achieve this, I list the important information that I find as I read the article. And when I finish reading the article, I go over the list and only keep the information that I believe will strongly support my argument. It’s actually a very good way to keep track of all the information I will be using in my paper because as I have mentioned before, it is easy to get information overload when reading so much. Also another fear I have is not knowing if I have enough information to write 20 pages. I don’t know if anyone else is feeling the same way, but it is something that has scared me since the beginning. Hopefully after completing the annotated bibliography assignment, I will know if I have enough information or not.
