Power point presentation
The fact is: We live in a world of COPY and PASTE – we forget where we got things and we love writing things down that we heard and telling others!
But always remember someone else wrote it first – someone else got the information from someone/somewhere else.

Academic Sources:
- What are they?
- Academic sources (also referred to as scholarly, peer-reviewed, or refereed sources) are written by experts in a particular field and keep those interested in that field up to date on the most recent research, findings, and news. They are published in peer reviewed journals or books published by academic presses. These sources usually are written by people who hold PhD degrees in their area of specialization and work at higher education institutions.
- Why are they important to me?
- The authority and credibility found in scholarly sources will improve the quality of your paper or research project. Use of scholarly sources is an expected attribute of academic course work.
- How can I tell if a source is academic or scholarly?

____________________________________________________________________________
AB Assignment: Construct an Annotated Bibliography using A Total of SIX (6) Sources (Scholarly or approved sources by the Instructor). Never use a poor source as you are proving your topic. Still not sure? Review Again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv3TdaHv-Oo
Please use MLA formatting. Sources go in alphabetical order. In the sample annotation, the writer includes three paragraphs: a summary, an evaluation of the text, and a reflection on its applicability to his/her own research. Do it exactly as you see the model! This is one example –please do them all in one document as shown! You already have two done on the discussion board so you only need 4 more. Remember your sources must be in alphabetical order. Also, please do not copy and paste from the abstract. If you do use some of the article and want to quote it, please in text cite. If you paraphrase, you must do that as well (In text citation).
