Google Books Discussion
Humanities
General Background
During the semester, you will construct an annotated bibliography of resources you consult while working on your research project. You can earn a total of 105 points for this assessment; 15 points for each of the seven sections.
Although you will not be able to earn points for submitting the sections after the deadlines, unless you complete all of the requirements for the annotated bibliography, you will fail your final project.
For an annotated bibliography, you write a proper citation for your source. Then, after it, you will provide a two to three sentence summary of the source. “Reviews, Interviews, Articles, and More” is an annotated bibliography I created for Nick Sousanis’ Unflattening (2015).

ou should locate a minimum of five Google Books. Post your citations in the Bibliography: Google Books discussion form. I have created a template–which can be found int he forum–which you can cut an past into your posting.
In the course documents section of BlackBoard, you can find information on research strategies and proper MLA document.
