An annotated bibliography is a list of citations of books, articles, and other empirical documents that you will use to construct your final paper.
Your annotated bibliography should include a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources (citations) you wish to use in your final paper.
Each source (citation) is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the source (citation).
Instructions:
The key to this assignment is to start early and to clearly identify and narrow down a problem you wish to address and to find supporting empirical documentation for you to use in your final paper.
Your annotated bibliography should have no fewer than six scholarly sources.
ONE resource must be from the textbook (Students cannot use the textbook as a resource to describe their theory. Please find another resource)
ONE social work resource should come from beyond the textbook.
TWO resources should fully discuss the theory you are using to address the problem you have selected.
TWO resources should talk about the effectiveness or about outcome measures of using the theory you have selected with the population you have identified).
Please indicate which one of the six scholarly sources in your annotated bibliography you are addressing.
Your annotated bibliography can be no shorter than 2 pages, no longer than 8 pages in length (excluding title page), must be doubled spaced, and you must use 12 point font.
Each page should be numbered.
The title page should have all of the necessary identifying information (For example, title of your work, student’s name, course name, date of submission, instructor’s name, and etc).
All sources (citations) cited in your annotated bibliography should NOT be older than 10 years old. If you are using older sources please explain why.
Annotated bibliography MUST use all of the EXACT FIVE headings LISTED BELOW so they will be easy to identify. This will allow your instructor to see where one question ends and another begins. This will also make sure that you are given credit for your work. Please do not use an abbreviated version of these eleven headings.
