M5 Final Project Proposal (due 3/27)
Due: Sunday, March 27, 2022, 11:59 PM
This week you must submit a final project proposal. It is required, and it is an important part of your final project learning activity. It also contributes to your grade.
For your final project, you will select a human biology topic you would like to explore in more depth.
For your topic, you will write a short annotated bibliography of eight (8) primary sources (not review articles or editorials) that have been published in the past 10 years. Primary sources include research articles, clinical trials, web pages from professional associations or government sites (e.g. National Institute on Aging). The ESC Library or Google Scholar are good places to start your research.
An annotated bibliography begins with a paragraph description of your topic and the context of the articles you have chosen. This introductory paragraph is followed by the full citation of each article, with a 1-2 paragraph summary and analysis of the article, situating the findings in the context of your topic.
For this final project proposal, please submit your topic, as well as one source annotation in MLA format to your instructor. Include a paragraph about why you chose your topic and what you hope to learn by researching this topic.
Annotated bibliographies and literature reviews are both comprehensive collections of relevant sources, but that is where the similarity ends. Their purposes, structures, and components are very different. Take a look at this page for more specific information on each:
Comparing the Annotated Bibliography to the Literature Review
Please visit the Online Writing Laboratory at Purdue University for further explanation and examples of an annotated bibliography.
Here is a good example of an annotated bibliography on MMR vaccine and autism: Autism and the MMR Vaccine.
