Each student will submit an annotated bibliography consisting of at least six (6) entries by Sunday, October 25, 2020. Three (3) of the entries require only the main components listed below. Each of the additional three entries requires both the main components and one of the additional components (i.e., Variables, Data Set, or Methods). Draft versions of these entries will be submitted as part of weekly class preparation activities, and additional drafts can be submitted for feedback and subsequent revision; grades will be based only on final submissions.
Main Components (all 2 entries):
• Complete and correct APA-formatted citation (article citation)
• 3 Keywords
• Brief summary of research questions
• Brief summary of findings
• Brief descriptions of how this paper connects to your project
• Brief description of notable limitations, concerns, etc.
Additional Components (one entry each):
- Variables: Select a paper in which the researchers study the outcome you are studying for your project. In addition to the main components, briefly describe at least three independent variables/covariates the authors consider in their study. Why did they select those variables, and how were they related to the outcome of interest (i.e., what was their theory of change, and what were their findings)? (1 point per variable)
Note: please use your own words. And take the articles from the sources list above.
