Maranda Trapolsi's Graduation Project: Filtering

Filtering

Today was a shortened day so I started to read through my sources. When reading through my sources I decided not to take notes right now. I have decided that I'm going to read through all of my sources and evaluate their potential before I actually pull out information and start taking notes. The only goal I need to complete for Tuesday is to read through at least half of my sources to evaluate their relevance and helpfulness to my project.
