Qualitative Annotated Bibliography Assignment
write an annotative bibliography with 10
annotations (APA 7 Style) on a single topic. References must be within last 6 years. Annotations must be comprehensive and synthesize literature and evaluate qualitative research.
Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and
scope of the book or peer reviewed research article.
Include at least
one sentence for each of the following: 150 words minimum for each annotation including:
- Describe study (methods, findings, etc.) – this demonstrates your understanding of what you have read
- Evaluate the findings (addressing strengths, limitations and/or
bias) – this establishes your ability to make judgments and address
problems in current research - Make a comparison to other works in the same/similar domain – This
proves you can analyze/synthesize resources and make overarching
inquiries - Generates ideas on where the research would likely go next and how
the research aligns to your approach to the single topic you have
chosen. This shows that you have the ability to create, be innovative in
how you put pieces of information together and think about taking next
steps and build a strong argument for the importance of your research
topic.
Note: The annotation is not a
restating of the article or book report, yet it is a critical
reflection of the major elements of the article, an identification of
major themes across the literature, and comparison and contrast of
findings from different authors.
