Annotated Bibliographies

An annotated bibliography is just like a regular bibliography, except each source is summarized. The length of each annotation depends on the topic and requirements from your class, instructor, school, etc. Some could be just a few sentences, or some could be like a page long. Like I said, it just depends on what your teacher or school wants you to do. It’s good to write annotated bibliographies for our class, so that the audience knows where we got certain information and how it pertains to our overall topic. It lets them know that we didn’t just make up the stuff as we went along. Annotations bring about clarity, which in turn, helps our instructor grade us more accurately. This can help our grade as well. Doing annotated bibliographies will also help the student or group understand their topic more. Student won’t have to keep referring back to each source as much, since the sources will be summarized in their bibliographies. In a way, it makes things easier, not only for the students but the instructors as well. I’ve never written one before, so I’m not sure if mine will be exactly right, but I think I’ll do fine. I have an overall idea of what it’s supposed to be like.
