A bit more detail about the annotated bibliography for the culminating course project

 I've had some questions about the details of the annotated bibliography for the culminating project outline due in early February. It's great that people are asking -- and if a few people have a question, chances are that others do too, so please feel free to email me with any questions about the course!

Here are some details about the annotated bibliography:

  • There's no particular word count for the annotated bibliography, but there is a certain number of items you are asked to include. (I believe it's 5-10 items -- academic and professional articles, websites, videos, etc.) if you're working individually, and 10-20 items if you're working with a partner (recommended if you are able to make that work).
  • That means that you will need to look at, skim or read about 20 - 30 items, and select the best and most helpful ones for you from that list!
  • Once you have read and viewed these selected items in more detail, your annotations should be 1-2 sentences each, in italics, under each item, offering a brief summary and then the reasons why you found the article, video, etc. particularly intriguing and helpful in understanding your topic.
  • Note that the annotated bibliography items should *NOT* be course readings or viewings -- so that you explore beyond the required materials from the course!
I hope that helps you get started, and I will be happy to add further details in response to any questions you raise!
