Library Assignment #2: ANNOTATING SOURCES 30 points Due ___________
Goal: Annotate the sources you found last week. The annotation should include a review or summary of the source and how it is important to your research. Also, correct any previous errors, such as categorization of sources. Keep the same formatting (APA, MLA, or Chicago/Turabian).
BONUS: students who annotate more than the minimum of 3 sources will receive extra points.
SUBMISSION: Submit as a typed, PDF document on Turnitin/Canvas before the deadline (refer to the syllabus). Late submissions are unacceptable. If the assignment is missed, students will need to make up the points through extra credit work. If there are errors in your work you may need to do extra credit work to make up the points. Most comments on incorrect or outstanding work will be made either on turnitin OR Canvas – no comments usually means that your work was satisfactory.
INCLUDE THE CATEGORY HEADINGS AND ANNOTATE THE SOURCES YOU FOUND LAST WEEK, USING ONE CORRECT CITATION FORMAT OF YOUR CHOICE (APA, MLA or CHICAGO/TURABIAN). Be sure your annotation reviews or summarizes the source AND how the source is important to your research.
