Proofing Summary:

Hello Jeremy, and welcome to the Online Writing Center! I'm Michael, your reviewer today.

Suggestions:

An annotated bibliography is basically a list of citations to books, articles, and documents that you used in your paper. However, each citation is

followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform

the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited and how this source used in the paper. Thus, an annotated bibliography

has two main parts: 1) the citation of your book, article, document and 2) your summative and reflective paragraph (which is called an

annotation).

You may want to take some time to review the instructions for your final assignment. As written, your thesis statement and introduction do not

address your prompt at all. For more information about decoding a prompt, check out this resource:

Please keep in mind that I have only marked the first instances of issues in your paper. If you need any further assistance with your assignment,

Keep in mind that this paper

requires you to focus on a

specific global societal issue, not

the topic of global societal issues

in general. What topic are you

focusing on for your paper?

Keep in mind that this paper is

not supposed to be a general

research paper. You need to have

a clear argument about a topic,

and you need to propose a

specific policy solution to address

this problem.

Make sure that you are properly

formatting your references

according to APA format. For

example, you should not use all

caps or bold, and you need to

italicize the titles and volume

numbers of academic journals. If

you do not have an APA style

manual handy to assist you, the

Ashford Writing Center is an

excellent resource:

Remember that you need to be

specific about how you will use the

source in your essay. What is the

main idea of your final paper? How

does this source contribute to that?

What exactly do you mean by this? Consider any

unanswered questions your readers may have. How

can you be sure that they are addressed here?

Since you have already listed your references as part of your annotated

bibliography, you do not need to do so again here.
