Overview
Week 12: Annotations
This week, we'll be thinking about how to evaluate sources. Is that "perfect" source you found, really perfect? Besides authority and fack-checking, does the source "fit"? Also, we will learn how to write an annotated bibliography. Students will learn how to craft a meaningful annotation for a source, and they will use this knowledge, ultimately, to write an annotation for each of the five sources they discover for the final research project.
By the end of this week you will be able to:
- Construct an Annotated Bibliography
- Understand the differences between Scholarly and Non-scholarly resources
- Learned how to locate Citation Generators in various resources
