Any topic (writer’s choice)

PURPOSE: An annotated bibliography provides specific information about each source you have used. As a researcher, you have become an expert on your topic because you have the ability to explain the content of your sources, assess their usefulness, and share this information with others who may be less familiar with them.

TASK: Now that you have completed your hunt for articles to solidify your variables of interest for your experiment,  please select three (3) articles that you will consider your primary sources (the MAIN articles that really aided you and your group to select your independent and dependent variable (s) for your experiment). All your sources should be peer-reviewed.  Make sure your articles are in a 10-year time frame unless it is a landmark study or has been approved by me in advance. Provide an annotated bibliography (AB) for both articles.  Your assignment should be APA formatted – include ONLY a title page because your citation will be above your AB.

CRITERIA: This assignment is worth a total of 25 points. Please see rubric below to review the grading criteria and take a look at the lab assignment detailed guidelines (Lab Assignment #4- Literature Hunt.docPreview the document / Lab Assignment #4- Literature Hunt.pdf).
