Some advice for completing this assignment:

• Follow the instructions in this link on how to prepare an annotated bibliography (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. 
• Select a minimum 3 sources for the annotated bibliography. At least three of these must be peer reviewed (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
• This is not a general summary of articles.  Use the academic literature as a means to find information that you need regarding the problem you are researching.  The summary of each source should reveal information pertinent to your purposes. 
• Identify sources that inform you about your problem AND express a disciplinary perspective.  Be sure your choice of sources represents a balance of disciplinary perspectives. 
• Writing style and grammar matter. Writing well is key to having people take you seriously when you submit something in print. As such, it matters here. Take the time to make sure your work reads well (has a flow and organization that others can follow easily) and make sure to clear it of any typos or grammatical errors. For more on writing style, here's Kurt Vonnegut (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
• Cite any conclusions or declarative statements.  If you derive information from an outside source (even if it’s just grabbing specifics on something you already know), you have to cite it.
• Please properly format your citations for all work from which you derive information used in your paper.  Many sources available through the FSU library have a simple link that formats your citations for you.  Use “cite this” on the search page for each of your sources to see the proper format.  If you use other sources, follow the citation guidelines also available through the FSU library.  See the Citation Management option under the Research tab on the library home page.  You may use MLA or APA formatting styles.  Whichever you use, be consistent throughout your paper. 
• Remember this:  Brevity is the soul of wit.  Be thorough but concise.
