English Assignment, Transfer Application Annotated Bibliography (50 points)

Description

We have discussed the concept of the annotated bibliography as it pertains to academic research. Creating an annotated bibliography affords you the opportunity to learn about your topic, prepare for a research project, and help to formulate a thesis. The annotated bibliography helps to determine if a source will be useful in shaping your argument.

You will create an annotated bibliography for the personal statement to help you prepare for the topic of “you,” which involves understanding your academic plans and where you want to take yourself professionally. It is not typical to create an annotated bibliography in preparation for a personal statement; however, it is crucial that you take the time to learn about the school and the career you are interested in as you go forward, ensuring that you will be a suitable fit.

You will create an annotated bibliography based upon the lecture and the preliminary research you have conducted to date regarding your transfer plans. The goal of this activity is to help you learn about your topic before sitting down to pen a personal statement.
