Scenario: In your Professional Writing course, the instructor has assigned a major research paper on a subject of your choice. The first phase of the assignment is to conduct a literature review, and create an annotated bibliography of the sources you intend to use in writing the paper.
After exploring the sub-tabs about Annotated Bibliography How-tos and Literature Reviews, please answer these questions:
How does a literature review differ from a typical research paper?
What techniques should you use to summarize and synthesize an entire reference source into a single paragraph annotation?
How should you assess and reflect on the entries in your annotated bibliography?
Critical Thinking Question:
Do you believe creating an annotated bibliography for a research project will speed up or slow down the project, overall? Be sure to clearly state the reasons for your opinion.
