One of the main points I got from the Unit 2 annotated bibliography was that you should always make sure the question you’re trying to ask is specific. This is because sometimes a general topic question won’t have sufficient sources that answer your question.The most difficult part of the annotated bibliography was finding credible sources. For instance, the peer review journals are always quite difficult to find a new relevant article. They always tend to be quite dated and have the same general topic but a completely different topic that may not fit with the question the writer is trying to answer. Something that I can take from this research into my other classes is the use of statistics. Whenever you are trying to convey an idea or point always use a piece of data that back ups that idea or point. Otherwise people will believe that its just an random opinion made by you.
