Assessment 1 – Group Annotated Literature Review document (2 sources per group member) – 20%
For the Annotated Bibliography, 2 sources per individual student should be reviewed (200-400 words for the annotation).
Annotated Bibliography is an evaluation report on the source usefulness for the research on a selected topic. In other words, an Annotated Bibliography is a preparation for a research project or a brief literature review, when you evaluate sources and decide if you wish to use them later.
Selected sources found during the Annotated Bibliography development could be included in the Research Project, if judged as relevant. This is why it is a good idea to look for academically credible sources straight away, though a variety of sources could be used at this stage.
An annotated bibliography represents a list of sources considered for a research on a given topic (textbooks, academic journals, news published in online periodicals, corporate websites, video interviews, etc.). It should provide (1) a reference to the source in Harvard referencing style; (2) a brief description of the content and focus of a given work cited and (3) a consideration of the source’s usefulness for research: an evaluation whether to use or not to use this source in your study, and how this source may be useful. Each annotation should typically be 1 paragraph long (100-200 words), including only important and relevant information. It should be written in write in full sentences using academic vocabulary.
