Step 7 – Full, Revised, Polished Annotated Bibliography
Hide Assignment Information
Instructions
1) Begin with your First Half of the Annotated Bibliography from Step 6. Incorporate all feedback from your professor on Step 6 to strengthen the First Half of your Annotated Bibliography.
Carry that feedback forward into the following steps.
2) Search the UMGC Library for 1 more scholarly journal article on your chosen topic. These article must come from the UMGC Library. Review Step 1 if needed.
3) Search the internet / web for 1 more article on your topic. Review Step 2 if needed. Again it is acceptable to include subpar sources because it is valuable to determine why a source is not a good source. However, there are sites not allowed for this assignment: See Unsuitable Websites below, and do not use encyclopedias.
4) Cite each new source in Chicago Style Bibliographic Form. Reminder for your new sources: Do not use citation generators for Chicago. Virtually all of them place the year incorrectly. Instead create your own citations. Review Step 3 if needed.
5) Incorporate each new source alphabetically into your existing Annotated Bibliography.
6) Format your work. Below each new citation (single space), indent the first line and double space your annotations as shown here. This is the same form as in Step 6.
7) Compose your annotations for each new source in narrative paragraphs. Refer to the Example Annotated Bibliography examples under Step 6.
Each annotation will be at least 150-200 words and will include 9 items:
Item 1: Author Background – What are the author’s credentials? Where does the author work? Does the author have other publications by credible publishers? Is the author affiliated with a respected organization?
Item 2: Publishing Organization Background – Is the publisher a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal? Is the publisher an academic press? Is the publisher a website cited by respected sources? Is the site affiliated with a respected organization?
Item 3: Thesis / Argument – Use your professor’s feedback on Step 4 – What does the author argue? Identify the thesis by completing this statement: The author argues that _____.
This will help ensure that you capture the thesis.
Item 4: Main Points – In 2-3 sentences, briefly note the main points. These will usually appear as supports for the thesis.
Item 5: Evidence – What evidence does the author use? Is this evidence credible?
Item 6: Degree of Bias – Use your professor’s feedback on Step 5 – How biased is this source? Does the author acknowledge and explain their bias? What are the author’s goals? Who is the intended audience? These questions will help you in determining bias.
Item 7: Accuracy – Use lateral reading as addressed in Step 2 to determine how accurate the source appears to be. You might not be able to determine this authoritatively if the topic is not well covered online. If that is the case, include a statement to that effect.
Item 8: Comparison to Other Sources – What general trends do you see in your sources? For example, are there key areas of agreement or disagreement? Is one source more biased than the others? Or do you find generally balanced approaches in your sources? Do all of your sources share the same assumptions? Are there new approaches to old evidence? You do not have to answer all of these questions for this item. These questions should serve as a guide for how to address this item fully.
Item 9: Assessment of Suitability for Academic Research – State your assessment of quality clearly by choosing is or is not and completing this statement: This source is / is not suitable for academic research because _____.
You may find the evaluation criteria provided by the UMGC Library useful. https://www.umgc.edu/current-students/learning-res…
8) Use the rubric at the end of Submit Your Assignment as a checklist while you work and again before you turn it in.
Reminder: If your article has an abstract, do not copy and paste it as your own work. That would be a violation of your Academic Integrity Pledge. Instead read the article and produce your own answers to the above items. You may certainly use the abstract to guide your work.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask in the Connect With Your Professor module or directly email your professor directly.
Assignments must be submitted as a Word document. This means that the file name will end in .doc or .docx as in the following example: Johnson_Annotated_Bibliography.doc
If there is a problem with this requirement, contact your professor.
9) When you have completed and proofread your work, submit your work for feedback and grading as a .doc or .docx.
