How reliable was the source and how quality was its research?

 I’m working on a english writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

For this assignment, you must gather EIGHT sources to help you write your final essay. For each source, you must provide a proper MLA or APA style citation in perfect form. You may use EasyBib or a comparable online source, or the recommended course textbook to help you with your formatting.

Once you have created these entries, you must compose two paragraphs for each source. The first paragraph is a summary and must explain what the source focused on. This paragraph should be short — only three to five sentences.

• View this annotated bibliography example
• Your bibliography should consist of EIGHT entries
• All of these should be peer-reviewed sources. This means journal articles and books. You can add website sources to your research as well, but they cannot count as one of the six required for this assignment. (Just leave them out of the Annotated Bibliography… you can add them to your works cited at the end of the paper when it is finished)
• Encyclopedias/dictionaries (including Wikipedia) do not count as reliable sources for an academic project of this nature
• Entries should be listed in alphabetical order
• Entries should be properly formatted (you can use a site like Citation Machine or EasyBib, or a program like Microsoft Word for this) and utilize a hanging indent

The second paragraph is an evaluation of the source. You can answer two types of questions in this brief paragraph.

1. How reliable was the source and how quality was its research?
2. How does this research relate back to your own topic/research? Was it helpful?
3. Each entry is worth 10 points, so make sure you have all eight. Each entry is graded on whether it contains all required elements (proper citaiton, summary, evaluation)
