A summary of what's good about each site, and my preferences: I really liked Ebsco-- it had the most results that worked with my topic! All I had to do was type in my search term, and it spit out a ton of valid, important results (that I then emailed to myself.) Opposing viewpoints wasn't really the best search tool for my non-controversial topic... "sleep deprivation vs. mood" doesn't have many arguable points. Points of View was my second- favorite, because of the relevance of the articles I found. All in all, I got about eight resources for my project!

I like your rating scale - I am guessing you are going to add the rest of your commentary still?
Yes, I do plan on adding it. The next time we have a catch-up day-- right now I'm about three days behind. Is there any way I could earn some extra credit?
Okay, I added it! Is it better?
