Application: Outline and Annotated Bibliography

Now that you have selected a topic and researched scholarly resources for your Capstone Project, it is time to create an outline and an annotated bibliography. The outline should list the major and minor subheadings with a brief description of what will be covered in each. Outlining a major project before you begin provides a concrete plan to follow and guides your writing as you develop your project. You are also required to create an annotated bibliography for your project. In creating the annotated bibliography you summarize the content of each scholarly resource and explain its relevance to your topic. Completing these two steps in the Capstone are necessary precursors to writing and completing your Capstone Project.
