For each article, write an annotated bibliography. Additional information re: composing an annotated bibliography — http://apus.libguides.com/c.php?g=241212&p=1606017#14503744
Then, integrate the findings from each annotated bibliography into a summary report detailing the knowledge you have gained about learning and motivation.
Process for completing this assignment:
