Download the thesis template. You may want to set up an overleaf account to work on your thesis if you haven't used Latex much before. Overleaf allows you to visualize your latex document while working on it.
In the "Prior Work" section, create an itemized list with at least 5 items. Each item should contain a citation to your Bibliography (using \cite{}) of a paper that you think will be relevant to your research question. For each reference summarize (in a few sentences) the result of the paper and why it is relevant to your work.
Upload the pdf (with your annotated bibliography) to the assignment on Canvas.
