Preliminary Five Sources
These are preliminary sources, which mean I don't expect you to have read the sources or taken notes on them yet. I just want you to locate five specific sources you think you might be able to use. It's important to make a quick preliminary search to make sure you will be able to find sources on this topic; if you can't, there's still time to change your topic.
You need to submit complete information (name of article/book/website/interviewee, author, date, where you found it) about five sources. You do not need to put the information in any particular format at this stage of your research. You need to include at least three DIFFERENT types of sources. Types of sources include:
- journal articles from the online databases
- newspaper articles from the online databases
- articles located on websites
- websites
- books
- interviews
- media: TV, radio, films, YouTube
Again, you may not end up using all of these sources, and you don't need to have read them yet. And again, you should have five sources in total representing at least three different types of sources. Need Assignment Help?
