Annotated bibliography
Details:
[Image unavailable: bibliography 2]The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate progress in compiling research and to indicate a methodology for organizing research sources.
Include the following in your annotated bibliography:
- APA Style citations, references, and annotations for two (2) sources you deem relevant to your problem statement (thesis).
- Add these two sources to your work from last week so you now have a total of four sources.
- The number of references for each annotated bibliography assignment should be two for each bibliography and a total of four for the final paper submitted in Week 7.
For each source:
- Cite the source in current APA Style. The citations should be organized in alphabetical order by author on an APA Style Reference list.
- Follow with a brief annotation summarizing the source (approximately 3–5 sentences). You may quote from the source, but do not copy and paste from the abstract.
- In 1 or 2 sentences, explain and evaluate the source’s relevance and significance to your research.
- Use an academic tone and style.
- You may use the annotated bibliography resources located here.
Review the rubric for further information on how your assignment will be graded. Include a copy of your working thesis statement at the top of your assignment submission.See the assignment rubric for grading criteria.
