In this assignment, students will further expand their knowledge on a subject area introduced in this course through the completion of an annotated bibliography. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to provide “critical or explanatory notes” of a list of resources you have identified on a specific subject. The annotated bibliography is not just a summary, but includes an evaluation of the resource and your thoughts about each article. Each student will select one of the population subject areas approved by the instructor and identify 10 scholarly articles. Each reference will be cited and provide both description, evaluate the quality of the reference, and share a reflection. All citations must be consistent with the American Psychological Association (7th Edition) citation standards.

Please watch the video and check out this website for an introduction to annotated bibliographies:
