Discussion Question: “Annotated Bibliography Project”

Think about the words used to identify this assignment (“annotated” and “bibliography”), and free write what those words mean to you.

  • If you did an annotated bibliography in a previous class (such as English 1101), briefly mention your experience with the assignment.
  • As you look through the guidelines, write down questions you have about this project.
  • Just hit “reply.” You don’t have to make a post!

    I used an annotated bibliography for a project in my ENG 1101 class. At first, the format was very confusing. I’m still not sure why they insist on the unusual margins. However, in hindsight, it makes sense to annotate your list of sources for future reference.

    An annotated bibliography is getting an idea from different authors relating to your main topic and citing the different author’s ideas or points into your work and referencing the work in an MLA or APA format.

    ° I have never done an annotated bibliography in a previous class but looking forward to learning more on how to do one.
    ° What kind of sources would you find credible? What if there’s no definite answer to our question?

    I believe the word “annotated” means something that is written. While “bibliography” is a list of sources and authors.

    I’ve never done an annotated bibliography before, so I had many questions about this project. Most of my questions were answered by reading the resources in the agenda.

    I don’t think I have encountered a project like this and if I did I don’t think I knew what it was called. It looks like it will be very confusing but I think that if I just try it it would be easier.

    Annotated Bibliography is a list of citations to books articles and many more. The citation are brief 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.

    To my understanding, an annotated bibliography is a list of sources such as books, websites, journal articles, etc. that you have found to utilize in your research paper, as well as a brief overview and analysis of those sources. I think is to properly summarize and analyze the source’s main thesis in order to write a successful annotation.

    – I have never done an annotated bibliography but I look forward on learning how to write one.
    – I believe annotated means to write down or create ideas while bibliography is like a list of sources or authors.
    – What kind of sources would be correct for our sources and what if there are no answers to our questions?

    An annotated bibliography: It starts with the summary. Do not include details, only the main points. Then evaluate the information and the authors. Also, reflect on the usefulness of this source.

    An annotated bibliography is basically an enhanced references page. Like the References page, it’s a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is should be followed by a brief 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.

    Annotated bibliography is basically if you quote someone else’s work we have to make sure we site them properly. I did annotated bibliography in my English class when I was doing the essay. For me at first it was very confusing but once I understood how it works it was pretty straightforward.

    In my previous college, I had to complete a research paper with an annotated bibliography for a separate assignment. In my experience, an annotated bibliography helps you to organize the article you’ve selected for research, and gives you a brief summary and reasoning for selecting that source.
