Assessment 1 – Annotated Bibliography
Overview
An annotated bibliography is a list of research source (i.e., a bibliography) on a particular
topic of research, accompanied by a brief commentary on each entry. The commentary
provides a summary and evaluation of the entry relative to the topic of research. It can be
used as a tool for researchers to gain an overview of the literature background at the early
stage of their research projects.
Your Task
Your task is to create an annotated bibliography on your chosen research question. In your
submission, you should:
1. State and classify your research question; and
2. List at least five (5) bibliographic items, each with its annotation.
(You can list more than five items if you want.) Regardless of how many items you list, you
will be marked on the overall quality of your bibliography. However, if you list n<5 items,
your marks will be scaled by n/5.
