Before you start working on the first major assignment for this course–the Annotated Bibliography–you need to know what the assignment entails and what is required of you.

The completed Annotated Bibliography is due by 9 a.m. on Friday, March 11th. You must upload the assignment to the Assignments link provided in Module 8 (Week 8).

Your Annotated Bibliography must contain at least 3 academic, credible sources. The annotation for each source should be at least 500 words, for a total of at least 1500 words in the completed assignment. 

Please click on the links in the pages and modules that follow in order to learn more about what an annotated bibliography is.
