Summarize the main claims of the article.

For MWA 4, you will create an annotated bibliography based on your research surrounding a particular topic.
1. Choose a topic.
You may continue researching the mental health topic you chose for MWA 3 and build on the research you have already done for that topic. This means you may also reuse sources from MWA 3, although you will still need to annotate these sources like any other.
You may also choose a problem, issue, or topic related to your major or academic course of study.
For example, if you are considering nursing, you may want to gather sources that address a problem or issue in nursing, such as the issue of burnout for nurses due to overwork and poor working conditions.
If you study Sports Management or Exercise Science, you might use as topics sports gambling or the long-term effects of concussions and other injuries for athletes.
2. Conduct research and gather 5 sources related to your topic.
At least 3 of your sources should be scholarly/academic sources. The other 2 sources are up to you, although you should select sources based on credibility, relevance, and usefulness to your research. Make use of the MTC library databases, Google Scholar, and other search engines.
3. Create your Annotated Bibliography. Include 5 citations and annotations.
Each source should be properly cited using MLA citation.
Following each citation, write an annotation. Each annotation should at least 150-250 words. Your annotation should:
Summarize the main claims of the article.
Discuss who the author is and evaluate their credibility. What institutions is the author affiliated with? What is their educational background? Is their education relevant to the topic they discuss? See the PowerPoint “Conducting Academic Research” to review these concepts.
The significance of this source in context of other research addressing the same topic. How is this source unique in how it presents its information? Does it offer anything new or something that your other sources do not?
