My comment for this assignment is the same I already gave elsewhere, and that is to not just assume Encyclopedia Britannica is reliable enough to skip the sources.

Encyclopedias of any kind are not "reliable sources." They still need to cite their data, which should come from primary sources (such as research papers).

When researching, what I usually suggest is to start by reading the encyclopedia articles and then looking at their references and further reading sections for more information. Barely anyone seems to ever take this second step, but it is very important. If an encyclopedia does not cite sources like that, it is far less useful than one that does.

Thank-you for the feedback and the advice regarding the very elementary basics of research.

You are right, we should not assume.
