SSC 570: Methods of Social Research
Spring Semester 2006
Assignment: Prepare an annotated bibliography of 10 sources on your research topic.
Grade: 12 points
Process: Visit the library to find journal articles and other
material on your topic. Select ten articles that pertain to your topic,
and that help you develop your
research design. You will probably have to look through many articles
to select ten that are appropriate to your topic. The articles that you
select should help you focus in on a good research question for your proposed
study.
Submit: An
annotated bibliography of these ten articles. Your bibliography should include a complete and
correct citation for each article, using APA format, followed by a brief synopsis of the
article. Each synopsis should include a description of the research
question, the methods, and the results; notes on how this article contributes to
your proposed study; and your own evaluation of the article.
DO NOT copy the abstract
for the article; you should read and summarize the article in your own words.
