What do you think you did well?
What would you try to do better if you had more time?
How did the Gale Infrotrac Database help you with the research process?
What do you think you learned about researching from Gale Infrotrac
Database?
If you used another place to find sources was it harder to find what was required for citing a source or to find a proper source website (.gov, edu
