Assessment 1 – Annotated Bibliography

Instructions and Marking Criteria

Overview
An annotated bibliography is a list of research source (i.e., a bibliography) on a particular topic of research, accompanied by a brief commentary on each entry. The commentary provides a summary and evaluation of the entry relative to the topic of research. It can be used as a tool for researchers to gain an overview of the literature background at the early stage of their research projects.

Your Task
Your task is to create an annotated bibliography on your chosen research question. In your submission, you should:

  • 1. State and classify your research question; and
  • 2. List at least five (5) bibliographic items, each with its annotation.

(You can list more than five items if you want.) Regardless of how many items you list, you will be marked on the overall quality of your bibliography. However, if you list n<5 items, your marks will be scaled by n/5.
