Hi, Rosalyn.   I have completed my review of your annotated bibliography.

My Observations

+ (plus) = Good or Mostly Correct / - (minus) = Improvement Needed

+ The assignment takes the form of an APA formatted annotated bibliography, and it matches the example presented in the Week 1 Instructions.

- The work is on-topic. The writer's analysis aligns well with the research question.  

- A thesis statement is included that announces the purpose of the essay and previews the main ideas that will be explored in the body of the essay.

- Annotations include two paragraphs communicating a brief reflection, an assessment, and a detailed plan for the source (a description describing how the source supports the argument).

- 5 high quality (peer reviewed and written within the last 5-7 years) sources were selected.

-/+ The APA guidelines were applied to the title page and document. These rules are found in the Writing Center. Go to "Writing Center," and next click the tab that says "APA Guides." Explore the links featured under "Formatting."

- The APA guidelines for reference page citation were applied correctly. For further instruction, review the "Citation Models" in the AU Writing Center.  Student - "Why don't you just tell me exactly what is wrong?" I am helping you to locate these instructional resources. Bookmark them in your browser.  This process is mastered by consulting instruction and examples as you create each citation. It is like reading a recipe as you cook a dish.

- Make sure to proofread your work carefully for word choice problems and grammatical errors. Use Grammarly.

The annotated bibliography lists the sources that you will consult as you work on the research paper project. The list may change after you begin researching. You may decide to add sources, and you may decide to omit sources that do not meet your needs. Each time that you make a claim or describe your reasoning, you should include expert testimony borrowed from an outside source to demonstrate that these well-respected thinkers and writers share your opinion. This is how you will persuade the audience.

If you have ANY questions about my feedback, please do not hesitate to message. I am eager to help!
