COURSE PROJECT: ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
You will complete two annotated bibliography assignments during the course that will serve as
the research foundation of your final paper:
1. Course Project: Annotated Bibliography Sources 1 – 8 Assignment
2. Course Project: Annotated Bibliography Sources 9 – 15 Assignment
INSTRUCTIONS
Each annotated bibliography must follow the current APA format and consist of at least the
number of scholarly sources required. Each annotated bibliography must have a title page with a
running head and page numbers. The professional version of the current APA title page must be
used for this assignment. No abstract is required.
Of the scholarly resources you provide for each assignment, at least five must be current and
published in the last five years. These must be empirical, peer-reviewed journal articles and
professional books. All sources must be directly related to your research topic.
Place your topic statement at the top of the annotated bibliography. Write the full citation for the
reference, followed by the annotation. The text in the annotations must be indented so that the
author’s last name is the only text that is flush left due to the hanging indent required in current
APA format.
Each annotation should include a summary of the main points in the reference and how the
information will be beneficial and contribute to the final paper you will be writing in Module 5:
Week 5 (final draft) and Module 7: Week 7 (final paper). In the resource’s summary, focus on
the purpose of the research study/reference and the findings/conclusions. You do not need to
include the details of the research study, such as the number of participants or the research
method used. The annotations are designed to help you and your instructor better understand
how your sources connect to your research topic.
Remember:
The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the main points of the reference
and how it will be beneficial in your final draft/final paper.
Write the full reference citation followed by the summary of the reference. No reference
list is to be written at the end of the paper.
Each annotation should be 150 – 200 words. Each line in the annotation needs to be
indented so that the author’s last name is the only text that is flush left.
Include a summary of the main points of the reference. Explain how this information is
useful to your problem/topic.

Focus on the purpose of the research study and the findings. You do not need to include
the details of the research methods used in the studies (number of participants, research
method used).
Note: Do not cut and paste from the references, as this constitutes plagiarism. Most of the time,
this occurs as an innocent oversight on the part of the candidate. Regardless of the reason, in the
event of plagiarism, you will receive 0 points for the entire assignment per Liberty University’s
policy on academic dishonesty.
Before you submit your annotated bibliographies, read through the Course Project: Annotated
Bibliography Checklist to ensure your assignment meets all criteria.
Format the paper in current APA format and see the grading rubric for specific grading criteria.
Help with current APA formatting guidelines can be found via the link to Writing Style Guides
(see the link the course’s left-hand navigation menu) and/or the Education Research Guide:
EDUC 701 link provided with this assignment.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
Themes
As you read the references, you will start to see different themes or subtopics emerge. An
effective way of documenting information for these different themes and subtopics is to use a
note-taking method. This will assist you in synthesizing or combing the information from the
different references when you write the final draft.
A research paper is not a summary of the main points of each source written in separate
paragraphs. When information is synthesized, the reference information from all of the different
scholarly references is combined. You put together the ideas and findings in order to put your
voice (the writer’s voice) to the overall points being explained. A practical method of keeping
track of and documenting the information used in each section of the paper is a note-taking
method.
There are many note-taking methods, and you should choose the method that works best for you.
Note-taking is not required as part of the annotated bibliography assignments, but it will be
extremely helpful to have a way to keep track of the information in the references that you will
use in the different sections of your paper. Below are some suggestions for note-taking methods
you might want to choose. You can look up each of these methods and read about them to find
the method you are comfortable with and that works best for you.
