Assignment: Annotation Of A Quantitative Research Article
Annotation of a Quantitative Research Article
You will submit the annotation of a quantitative research article on a topic of your interest.
An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on, the source. Tha annotation is a precursor to the annotated bibliography assignment.
An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a dissertation.
