Project 2 progress

Project 2 was assigned to all of us to create an annotated bibliography. This annotated bibliography consists of 12-15 sources. These sources are primarily tied to the discussion of race in our majors. For me, I had to evaluate sources regarding the discussion of race in physics. For me, I had to follow the APA formatting because that is the primary formatting used in physics.  Each source was to be an approximation of about 150-200 words. These entries in the bibliography serve as a shortened version to give you a summary of the article and an application towards the thesis of your paper. For the purpose of our class, we are only creating an outline for a paper using the annotated bibliography.

Some of the difficulties of Project 2 have mainly been finding relevant sources that address multiple sides of an argument. With regards to physics, there seems to be one main issue of having it be a predominantly white male field. The causation for this is mainly because people are not exposed to physics enough, and that there is a delineated proportion of men to women in physics classes in higher education. Another issue I have been having is time management, recently I have been busy with test after test it is nearly impossible to find extra time for all the classes. One aspect that is going well is that I am actually developing a very nice outline for the sources that I did come across. I am forming a very well structured argument from the content of my sources. I found this to be such an easier way to complete the assignment. It is so much easier to create a blanket statement over a combination of sources, rather than to pick a concrete topic and find sources that fit under the specific thesis.
