To begin with, choose an environmental topic you are interested in reading more about. You can look through the syllabus to get some ideas. Your Annotated Bibliography will include an APA-formatted reference, summary, and evaluation of TWO credible source articles you choose.
You must use the template provided for your submission which also includes your grade for each section (assignments submitted without the full template will be returned)
What articles are acceptable? They must be peer-reviewed and found through the APUS Trefry Library. To learn how to search for peer-reviewed articles the library has a fantastic page – https://www.apus.edu/apus-library/resources-services/Writing/writing-center/the-research-process.html. Once on this page, click on “Identifying your resources” which takes you through the process. If you have a question about your article please don’t hesitate to ask.
APA Reference Formatting
Written in APA reference list format (7th edition). For more help with formatting, see the APA handout.
Summary sections:
What is the purpose of the article? Briefly address the following points in 4-6 sentences:
Begin with a “topic sentence” that states the articles main point. (e.g., This article discusses topsoil loss in the state of Kansas.).
Summarize the main findings and conclusions of the peer-reviewed journal paper, book, website article, etc.
Evaluation sections:
After summarizing the article, it is necessary to evaluate it and state where you found it (journal, website, book, etc.). Briefly answer the following questions in 4-6 sentences:
What is the format/type of source article (e.g., peer-reviewed journal paper, book, website article)?
Is the author an authority/expert on the topic? Explain how the author is qualified (see below).
For subject-matter experts, provide their credentials (e.g. degrees earned, professional or academic affiliations, published works)
How is the publishing source (e.g., the website’s sponsoring organization, journal, book publisher) credible? (e.g., The Journal of Mammalian Research is the peer-reviewed journal of the Society of Mammalian Researchers which is comprised of subject-matter expert members and published quarterly by the University of Linux.)
For more help, see this handout on evaluating resources.
Writing Expectations: Apply scientific concepts and use scientific terminology correctly. Utilize proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation
