Bibliography Student Examples
Annotated Bibliography Student Examples
After reading one of the student sample papers, provide your assessment of their work. Indicate which paper you read in the title of your post. How well did the students complete the assignment according to my directions? As writers, what did the students do well? What specifically did the student not do well on? How could they improve it? Be specific, noting details from my assignment sheet and the samples to support your evaluation. Give a grade at the end. Your response should be around 250 words and follow the discussion board grading guidelines.
Respond to TWO of you peers. Elaborate on your peer’s response: Do you agree or disagree with their assessment? Did they point out something that you did not originally notice?
Basic Requirements: 5 academic sources from either books or peer reviewed journals; 150-200 word summary and critique of each source
Purpose: An annotated bibliography is a list of sources along with an evaluative summary for each entry. This is intended to help you organize your thoughts and give you a snapshot of published literature on the topic of your research. This will help you easily compare and contrast sources, and evaluate them according to the purpose of your research.
