FirstHalfofAnnotatedBiblographyInstructions.docx1) Place a heading at the top of your page to include:
· Your Name
· Course Title
· Professor's Name
· Assignment Title
· Today's Date
2) Name your topic. For example, Iron Work. (See Step 1 if you have forgotten your topic.)
3) Paste or type your citations from Step 3.
· Incorporate all feedback from your professor on Step 3 to bring your citations in line with Chicago Style.
· Ensure that they are in alphabetical order.
· Format as single-spaced with hanging indentation. (See Step 3 for a review of hanging-indentation instructions.)
4) Format your work. Below each citation (single space), indent the first line and double space your annotations as shown here.
5) Compose your annotations for each source in narrative paragraphs. Refer to the Example Annotated Bibliography Examples.
Each annotation will be at least 150-250 words and will include 9 items:
Item 1: Author Background - What are the author's credentials? Where does the author work? Does the author have other publications by credible publishers? Is the author affiliated with a respected organization?
Item 2: Publishing Organization Background - Is the publisher a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal? Is the publisher an academic press? Is the publisher a website cited by respected sources? Is the site affiliated with a respected organization?
Item 3: Thesis / Argument - Use your professor's feedback on Step 4 - What does the author argue? Identify the thesis by completing this statement: The author argues that _____. This will help ensure that you capture the thesis.
Item 4: Main Points - In 2-3 sentences, briefly note the main points. These will usually appear as supports for the thesis.
Item 5: Evidence – What evidence does the author use? Is this evidence credible?
Item 6: Degree of Bias - Use your professor's feedback on Step 5 – How biased is this source? Does the author acknowledge and explain their bias? What are the author's goals? Who is the intended audience? These questions will help you in determining bias.
Item 7: Accuracy - Use lateral reading as addressed in Step 2 to determine how accurate the source appears to be. You might not be able to determine this authoritatively if the topic is not well covered online. If that is the case, include a statement to that effect.
Item 8: Comparison to Other Sources - History is a discussion, so what general trends do you see in your sources? For example, are there key areas of agreement or disagreement? Is one source more biased than the others? Or do you find generally balanced approaches in your sources? Do all of your sources share the same assumptions? Are there new approaches to old evidence? These questions should help you here.
Item 9: Assessment of Suitability for Academic Research - State your assessment of quality clearly by choosing is or is not and completing this statement: This source is / is not suitable for academic research because _____.
6) Use the rubric at the end of Submit Your Assignment as a checklist while you work and again before you turn it in.
Note: If your article has an abstract, do not copy and paste it as your own work. That would be a violation of your Academic Integrity Pledge. Instead read the article and produce your own answers to the above items. You may certainly use the abstract to guide your work.
Assignments must be submitted as a Word document. This means that the file name will end in .doc or .docx as in the following example: Johnson_Annotated_Bibliography.doc
If there is a problem with this requirement, contact your professor.
7) When you have completed and proofread your work, submit your work for feedback and grading as a .doc or .docx.
Here are all the feedback from the previous Assignments for this paper.

Professor’s feedback for Step 2: You provided many key points for your sources about women in technology. However, the article by Ahooja-Patel appeared in JSTOR, which is a source that you will access in the UMGC library. Instead, you need to locate a source from the internet that you cannot find in the library for this project. The first article did appear to be more relevant, but the link did not work. I was not able to review the website to see how you might use it. Please check the link before the next submission.
Professor’s feedback for Step 3: You did a fairly good job with the citations. However, in article 1, be sure to only italicize the journal title. The citations should also be in alphabetical order by the author's last name.
Professor’s Feedback for Step 5: You were able to identify some of the main issues that drove the arguments raised in each article that you assessed for this week. You also pointed out a shortcoming to offer a competing viewpoint on men in the second article. However, you can use the information more in the first article to assess the question of bias rather than emphasizing her argument.
Here are the articles I chose:

Web Article Title: Mothers of Invention: Women in Technology
Bias
The article mainly focused on gender prejudice in science and technology, and the author adequately supported the claims with several research that elevate women in the field of science and technology. However, failing to include a comparable quantity of information on men's successes in the sector strips off the opportunity to comprehensively weigh the value of seeing the importance and impact of women in science and technology. Although this information is needed, since the article focuses on women, this cannot be considered the source of bias opinion. In determining the validity and reliability of the information and studies, the readers need to check the published date and time. As time went by, all the statistical information conducted in the past can aggressively change in time. That is the only evident bias in the article that I discovered.

Bias
In general, this article is well-written and pointed out the importance of giving young girls ample opportunities to choose what career they want to pursue in the future. Because the focus is on young females in the realm of science and technology, the author is expected to emphasize the importance of giving them opportunities to choose their desired careers. In research studies, the consideration of the date the article was published plays a vital role in the credibility of the article being read. Also, the article mainly focused on certain parts of the European countries that promote and practices a gender-neutral educational system since some parts of the world, such as Japan, Canada, and, Australia ranked high with countries that offer gender-neutral education. This proves that as time goes by, the necessary information changes, and so does society's opinion.
Kindly reach out to me if you need any other information. Thank you.
