Essay #5 (Annotated Bibliography)
Major Essays: The majority of your grade in this course comes from a sequence of papers based on the assigned literature. Note: you may not use online sources such as Wikipedia, Gradesaver, Shmoop, eNotes, 123helpme, and etc.
Assignment:
This week, you will complete a 1,000 word Annotated Bibliography. You will need a minimum of 7 sources (6 SECONDARY sourcres, one PRIMARY source which can be your textbook) with each followed by a 200-250 word annotation. Secondary sources must be scholarly criticism or analysis, not summaries, reviews, or “analysis” from sites such as e-Notes, SparkNotes, Wikipedia, 123HelpMe, or Gradesaver.com; instead, they must come from books written within the last ten years. If you can’t get them all within the past ten years, that’s fine as long as those sources are analyzing the literature, or some aspect thereof, not recounting facts. To explain, history books and scientific research needs to be continuously updated because we find new evidence that changes what we know about a topic. Books written about Watergate or String Theory 20 years ago might not be accurate or relevant today because new discoveries overturn facts or because our knowledge and understanding is nuanced and ultimately refined over time. However, if you’re looking at a book that explores the importance of irony in Shakespeare, then that’s ok. That kind of discussion would still be relevant to the subject today.
Make sure that at least some sources are from the Troy University library databases (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.such as Academic Search Complete or JSTOR (Hint: These online databases usually provide current citations of the articles). In addition to a correct citation for each source, you must include a desсrіption or summary of the source, at least one paragraph long, and an explanation of how you foresee incorporating it into your essay.

Format. In an academic community that communicates effectively, proper formatting is a mark both of one’s ability to follow instructions and of one’s willingness to interact with one’s colleagues in an accepted, mutually understandable manner. Therefore, it is important that you follow proper MLA format in producing your texts, particularly as you cite your sources. Failure to do so will lower your grade. Paper Submission. Upload your paper to the Turnitin assignment link in the appropriate Learning Modules folders.You must submit your papers electronically through CANVAS on or before the due date. No late papers will be accepted. If you do not turn your assignment in by the deadline, then you will not get credit for the assignment. You will not be allowed to make up or redo essays for any reason.
All essays must be submitted in Canvas by 11:59 PM on the Sunday of the week they are due. All submissions are final, so allow yourself plenty of time to draft, revise, edit and upload. Be sure that you upload the correct document. If you upload the wrong document, then the essay is considered late and you will not receive credit. Allow spare time for unforeseen circumstances. If you wait until 11:55 PM to upload your paper, and you have technical difficulties that cannot be resolved by 11:59 PM, then your essay will be considered late and you will not be able to submit the assignment. I will not accept any essays emailed to me for any reason. Even if you email it to me at 12:00 AM on Monday, I will not accept it. I will not accept any document attached to a comment on the assignment.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is defined as submitting anything for credit in one course that has already been submitted for credit in another course, or copying any part of someone else’s intellectual work – their ideas and/or words – published or unpublished, including that of other students, and portraying it as one’s own. Proper quoting, using strict MLA formatting, is required, as described by the instructor. All students are required to read the material presented at: http://troy.troy.edu/writingcenter/research.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Students must properly cite any quoted material. No term paper, business plan, term project, case analysis, or assignment may have more than 20% of its content quoted from another source. Students who need assistance in learning to paraphrase should ask the instructor for guidance and consult the links at the Online Writing Center.
This university employs plagiarism-detection software, through which all written student assignments are processed for comparison with material published in traditional sources (books, journals, magazines), on the internet (to include essays for sale), and papers turned in by students in the same and other classes in this and all previous terms. The penalty for plagiarism may range from zero credit on the assignment, to zero in the course, to expulsion from the university with appropriate notation in the student’s permanent file.
