As you narrow your choices and settle on a finalist, you MUST talk to a librarian to determine if you will be able to find sufficient credible sources to use in your research.

This doesn't mean that you might not add more sources later, but for now, you have identified some good sources of information on your topic that you will be using to edit your article. Make sure you have created your bibliography page and added your sources there as part of the bibliography assignment on the main page, found in the &quot;My Articles&quot; section. The video in the &quot;Finishing Up Your Bibliography&quot; page of Module Six gives you step-by-step guidelines on finishing up this assignment.

Week 11
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned article, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
