Project 2: Annotated Bibliography
Introduction
One of the most common research assignments is the annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a list of secondary sources that includes both a bibliographic citation and a brief description and evaluation of the source. Often, annotated bibliographies are completed in preparation for a longer research project and can be a useful tool for keeping track of sources.
Assignment Instructions
- Based on the article you responded to for Project 1, develop 1-2 research questions. The question(s) should be specific, open-ended, and interesting (and conform to the template on the “Developing Research Questions” document, which you can find on our Moodle site).
- Using the resources available to you through the Rochester University library, find 4-5 new credible sources that answer your question. At least 3 sources should be from peer reviewed publications (scholarly journals).
- Write a brief (150-200 word) summary of the main points in each source.
- The summary portion should include an organized summary of the main points of a source. Specific words and phrases may be quoted, but, for the most part, content should be summarized instead of quoted. In addition to summarizing content from the article, the summary can also include such information as the context/situation to which the writer is responding and how the source content is organized.
- Write a brief (75-100 word) evaluation and response to each source. In your evaluation, you can discuss some of the following analyses:
- how the source helps to answer your research question(s),
- the effectiveness of the source in responding to the writing situation,
- the credibility of the source
- why you do and/or do not find the argument being made to be convincing
- Place a “works cited” style reference for each source before its summary and evaluation, and order the annotations alphabetically as you would for a works cited page.
- Edit the document for formatting, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
- Use MLA formatting for title page or heading information and page numbers. (The summary portions for entries do not require in-text citations.)
- Include indentations and double spacing according to the formatting expectations, and use 1” margins.
- Make sure the font is 12 point Times New Roman or a similar serif font.
Submission Instructions
A rough draft for two entries of the annotated bibliography should be uploaded to the Peer Review Forum on Moodle no later than Monday, October 12 and responses are due on October 13. It is strongly advised that you upload your draft earlier than October 12. We will also do peer review on October 13. Your final draft should be turned in on Friday, October 16. Uploads to Moodle will hold a spot in the grade book, but you must turn in a paper copy before the assignment will be graded. The final draft should be 3-4 pages (1000-1250 words).
