Assignment 3: Annotated Bibliography
Due Week 6 and worth 150 points

An Annotated Bibliography is the result of a critical review of sources of information and the organization of those sources in preparation for writing the Research Project. The description and evaluation of sources allows students to choose specific sources of information that are most relevant to the topic. This evaluative process goes beyond simply collecting and listing references and requires students to review the specific content of each source. Students will submit an organized list of at least eight sources and an accompanying summary for each in order to explain, assess, and evaluate their relevance to the Research Project.
