    Individual Assignment: Annotated Bibliography

    Theme: Exploring Animal Topics

    Objective
    Through the exploration of five (5) sources, students will develop the skills to summarize, paraphrase,
    analyze, and critically evaluate information while honing their ability to use IEEE citation format.
    Students may choose a specific area of interest within the broader field of animal-related topics.

    Instructions
    1. Topic Selection:
    Choose a specific topic within the broad theme of animals that piques your interest. This can
    include, but is not limited to, animal behaviour, conservation efforts, veterinary medicine, ethical
    considerations, or the impact of animals on human society. Write a brief introductory section (one
    to three sentences) to present and explain your topic.

    2. Source Criteria:
    • Locate and select five (5) sources related to your chosen animal topic.
    • Ensure that at least three (3) of these sources are peer-reviewed. Peer-reviewed sources can be
    found in academic journals or reputable conference proceedings.

    3. IEEE Citation Format:


    • Format your annotated bibliography using the IEEE citation style.
    • Include a complete citation for each source, providing the author(s), title, publication source,
    publication date, and any other relevant information.

    4. Annotation Components:
    • For each source, write a concise summary of its main ideas, key findings, and methodologies.
    • Analyze the credibility and reliability of the source. Consider the author's qualifications, the
    publication source, the currency (date), and any potential biases.
    • Identify and explain the source's relevance to your chosen animal topic and its contribution to the
    broader understanding of the subject.

    5. Synthesis and Conclusion:


    In 250 words or less, conclude your annotated bibliography by synthesizing the information from
    the five sources. Identify common themes, controversies, or gaps in the literature, and discuss
    how these contribute to the overall understanding of your topic.

    6. Organization and Formatting:


    • Use a clear and coherent writing style, utilizing proper grammar and punctuation.
    • Submissions must be single-spaced and set in Times New Roman 12-point font with regular 1-
    inch margins.
    • Annotations and conclusion must be written in paragraph form (no point-form).
    • Each annotation should be between 100 and 200 words (not including the bibliographic/citation
    information).

    7. Submission Guidelines:
    • Submit your annotated bibliography to Brightspace in Word (.docx) or PDF format.
    • Due Date: February 9, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. (EST)

    • Clarity and coherence in summarizing each source's main ideas. Ideas must be paraphrased, not
    copied word-for-word.
    • Depth of analysis in evaluating the credibility and relevance of the sources.
    • Demonstration of critical thinking skills in connecting the sources to the chosen animal topic.
    • Overall organization, grammar, and adherence to submission guidelines.
