I will be using these sources in my research paper because they have the most credible information on the effects cluster bombs have on civilian lives and the consequences that would follow a ban.

I have learned so much since the beginning of this project.  I now know the advantages of cluster bombs, the negative effects they have, and what both sides have to say about the issue.  It has been truly eye opening.

What is the problem? How is it a problem? What is a potential solution for this problem?

At first I was annoyed with these blog phases.  I did not like them and did not see the point to them. Looking back I realize they were actually a great benefit.  I already have most of my research done and any more research I need to do will be guided by what I have already found; what search engines work best, what databases will be most useful, what to search for, and is it recent enough.

Overall, I would not change a thing.  It took some getting used to, but in the end this process was a great benefit to me by keeping me from procrastinating.
