Prompt: What strategies have you and your group used to ensure that all members are actively contributing to group assignments? Explain how you communicate, divide responsibilities, and hold each other accountable throughout the process.

Prompt Response: Our group has made sure everyone has contributed by splitting up the parts and getting the missing information from the members who did that part. So if someone doesn't do their part everyone will be affected. We divided the sources by giving some people literary reviews, academic journals, data, news, magazines, or an image.

Prompt: Which part of the annotated bibliography (summary, reflection, or evaluation) was the most challenging for you, and why? Explain how that challenge helped you grow as a researcher and how it will help you when writing your research paper.

 Prompt Response: The most challenging part of the annotated bibliography was the reflection because I had to explain why each source mattered and why it would be helpful instead of just summarizing. It made me think harder about the information and connect it to my topic. This forced me to slow down to better analyze the information and understand it. This will help me make my research paper because I can explain my evidence more clearly. Summary: Absent Reflection: Absent

Prompt: Think about your experience using GALILEO to find sources. How was this different from how you have searched for information in the past? Explain how using specific search strategies and evaluating sources impacted the quality of what you found.

 Prompt Response: Using GALILEO was different from how I normally search because it gave me academic sources instead of random websites. I has to use specific search strategies like keywords and filters which helped me find more accurate information. Evaluating each source also made me pay attention to things like if it was peer-reviewed too see if it was reliable. Because of all these things the quality of these sources was better than what I usually get. Summary: We found sources Reflection: I think GALILEO was better than using google.

Prompt Response: I noticed that my sources all talked about cosmetic procedures and social media, but from different angles. Some focused on social media pressuring young adults to want surgery and some were more about how its used in to educate.

Seeing the different viewpoints helped me understand how much of an impact plastic surgery has on people. Summary: We found sources. Reflection: I figured out how social media influences young people to get plastic surgery.
