What is an annotated
bibliography? Why do you have to write one for this class?
In my understanding of an
annotated bibliography it is listing out my sources for the research project
and along with listing sources gives me the opportunity to explain each source.
This seems like the time to explain the source and more importantly to explain
or use the CURRA to explain why I believe the source is reliable or [Credible
Unbiased Relevant has References and how it is Accurate].
So why write one for this
class? A big part of the class has been to not only search for sources but to
be sure that they are reliable sources. Honestly until this class I was familiar
with keeping an eye out for sketchy sources but never realized how much I
needed to check or review in order to weed out bad information. Also in writing
this annotated bibliography it shows that we not only picked resources but that
we took the time to read through the various books, articles, and websites. It
gives us the chance to point out the connections between the sources and our
research questions and arguments. Just because a source may be on the same
topic does not mean that it will work with our research questions.
