COURSE PROJECT PART 4: ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY INSTRUCTIONS

Choose 1of the 2research questions you developed and create an annotated bibliography that will serve as the research foundation of your final paper.

Your annotated bibliography must follow current APA format (including a title page, abstract, and reference pages) and consist of at least 15 scholarly sources. At least 8of your scholarly resources must be current (within the past 5 years), empirical, peer-reviewed journal articles.

All sources must be directly related to your Research Question and Problem. Be sure to select a variety of respected sources you can use in your paper (e.g., journal articles, books, e-books, scholarly websites, etc.).

Each source citation must be followed by an annotation. The annotations are designed to help you better understand how your sources connect to your Research Question and Problem.

Note the following requirements for your annotated bibliography:

• An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for all resources you used.
• Each citation is followed by a brief (200 words), descriptive, and evaluative paragraph (the annotation).
• The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

Do not cut and paste from your sources, as this constitutes plagiarism. Most of the time, this occurs as an innocent oversight on the part of the candidate.

Additionally, the Education Department has a Library Liaison who is available to assist you in all matters pertaining to conducting your research, including what constitutes an acceptable article (reputable professional, scholarly journals, and/or informational venues that deal with the content of this course).

Format the paper in current APA format.
