SCIN131 - Introduction to Chemistry with Lab Assignment 1: Annotated Bibliography

Assignment Instructions Assignment 1: The Annotated Bibliography Objective: Assess sources for your research for your final presentation (for credibility, reliability, and relevance) and list references in proper APA format Assignment Instructions: The Research Project/Presentation for this class is divided into three major Assignments, 1) annotated bibliography, 2) outline and 3) final presentation.

The first part is the annotated bibliography.

An annotation is a summary and evaluation, and your annotated bibliography will include a summary and evaluation of some of the sources (or references) you will use for your presentation.

To prepare for this assignment, I recommend that you do the following: Read these directions carefully.

Review the sample annotated bibliography provided to you below.

Read the grading criteria below.

The grading criteria is a detailed evaluation that I will use to assess your performance.

It will also help you understand what is expected of you as you prepare your assignment.

Message me with any questions! The reason the annotated bibliography is included as part of the research project is that writing an annotated bibliography is important in that it provides excellent preparation for the final presentation.
