Quality Internet Sites

General Background

During the semester, you will construct an annotated bibliography of resources you consult while working on your research project. You can earn a total of 105 points for this assessment; 15 points for each of the seven sections.

Although you will not be able to earn points for submitting the sections after the deadlines, unless you complete all of the requirements for the annotated bibliography, you will fail your final project.

For an annotated bibliography, you write a proper citation for your source. Then, after it, you will provide a two to three sentence summary of the source. “Reviews, Interviews, Articles, and More” is an annotated bibliography I created for Nick Sousanis’ Unflattening (2015).

Quality Internet Sites

This week’s session will focus on quality Internet sites. By definition, encyclopedias (including Wikipedia) and dictionaries are no academic sources and should not be included in your annotated bibliography. Ask.com, Yahoo Answers, and similar sites are also not academic sources and should not be included in your annotated bibliography.

You should locate a minimum of five quality Internet sites. Post your citations in the Bibliography: Internet Sitesdiscussion form. I have created a template–which can be found int he forum–which you can cut an past into your posting.

In the course documents section of BlackBoard, you can find information on research strategies and proper MLA document.

Proper Internet Citation
