An annotated bibliography will be due before your final paper. Annotations are short explanations of the source used. Annotated bibs must contain at least five peer reviewed sources (meaning they come from a refereed, scholarly journal). You may need more than five sources. Annotated bibs must be written in APA 6thedition format, and will not receive credit if written in other formats. Grading will consider format, APA style, and quality of annotations.
Written assignments will be filtered with TURNITIN software which scans for plagiarism and duplication. The following deductions will be applied to your grade based on the TURNITIN scans: 10% off if the duplication rate is 36%-40%, 15% off if the duplication rate is 41%-50%, and 20% if the duplication is 51%-74%. Any paper with a duplication rate of 75% and higher will automatically receive a zero on the assignment.
