With my evaluative works cited page, I feel like I really strived. I found a lot of really good and useable sources right off the bat. I didn't know how many resources were available to any given subject! Most of mine were found off the internet, and a couple of them were articles. There were a lot of cites that I found that would have been a lot more helpful if I was a doctor. There were a lot of big medical terms in most of the sources, and I didn't know what most of them meant. That part was kind of confusing, but I eventually found sources that were easily translatable and useful to my paper. My first source was really helpful because it involved statistics that showed benefits of a certain surgery. This made my paragraph on treatment options interesting because I was able to put facts and analysis behind my research. My third source is a website that has facts and visual images to help a reader understand. I'm glad I got to have that as a tool, because it was hard to picture the superior oblique muscle without a visual example. This website is an example of one that used a lot of big terms that I wasn't familiar with. I was able to make sense of it all, and it really helped me better my own understanding of the condition. My last source was from a very decorated doctor whom teaches at Ohio State University. This was one of the most easily understandable sources, because it answers a very basic question that people might have: "What happens if it goes untreated?" Most people that I tell about my eyes ask me about that, and before all of this research, I never knew how to answer! It was really great to have been able to find such useful sources and make sense of them all. I think they really tied my essay together and made it look more professional.
