The most difficult part in doing this type of research was the fact that most things on a topic were biased. Videos and articles I kept coming across were mostly all one sided either pro guns or anti guns. This made it exceedingly difficult to remain unbiased at times as I would find articles or videos and read them only to find out they were for guns or against them. I did find a peer reviewed article and 2 videos that try to remain as unbiased as possible. In doing this research I learned a lot, one of the things I learned to do which I will be using in the future is how to cite my sources. I am not only now able to cite articles but now I can site any video on YouTube or any tweet I need. I also learned which articles are the best and those are the peer reviewed articles

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
