Annotated Bibliography Individual Progress Report


This annotated bibliography project is a little bit more difficult than I thought it would be. At first, I thought that it was just finding articles and summarizing them, but unfortunately that is not as easy as it sounds.
My group has the topic of biology. Each member of our group took a certain aspect of success in biology to research. So for my part, I have the topic of what success is to evolution in biology. This is pretty difficult for me because, to be perfectly honest, I do not understand science worth anything. The language is challenging, and to be frank, boring. I cannot get myself to concentrate on it. As if concentrating on reading weren't difficult enough, trying to weed through the results that I get during the research process is a challenge in itself. I really struggle with finding good results. I am aware that at some point I should seek outside help from a librarian, but I just haven't gotten to it. I'm sure that I will eventually, but right now, I'm being a little stubborn and am trying to figure it out on my own because I don't particularly like asking for help. So thus far I am still in the process of figuring out how to weed through the results and am working on summarizing the results that I pick. As bad as this sounds, I have about none of the sources done of the four that I need to do. But I know that I will get more done soon. I know I shouldn't have put it off this long, but it's hard not to look at a challenge like this and turn away. But the point is that I am confident that once I have a little more time to look at it I will figure it out. The point of this blog was not to tell you that I have been sitting around doing nothing, but to tell you honestly that I have experienced challenges in this assignment so far.
This project is especially difficult because not only is it about every group member pulling his or her weight, but it also about making every group member's effort work together. So try to make that work, my group is in the process of making plans to get together. In the mean time, we're all just trying to work on our own and use each other as a reference for questions when needed.
