Scientific method, scientific true and falsification : Case of Sandia Men Cave

Assignment: Annotations
Length: 150 to 300 words for each of the five annotations
Percent of Second Quarter Thesis Grade: 30%

Assignment: Prepare an annotated bibliography of 5 secondary sources. The bibliography should list citations for sources in MLA format,

with a single-spaced annotation under each citation. Arrange entries in alphabetical order, exactly as you have them in the List of

Works Consulted. By this time, you will have read more than five sources. Turn in your most up-to-date List of Works Consulted, in

perfect MLA format, with your bibliography.

Annotate your best secondary sources only and you will probably be able to use some of what you write in your final thesis next

semester. Annotating weak or irrelevant sources is a waste of time. Do not annotate primary sources.

Note: Abstracts or other critical discussions can be helpful as you annotate, but remember that using another person’s words or ideas

in an annotation is plagiarism.

A good annotation always includes the following:

(1) A one- or two-sentence summary of the overall argument of the source.

Be fair to the source and do your best to represent what it says. Summarize its main argument, whether or not that argument interests

you. Keep your opinion out of this part.

(2) A critical evaluation of the source.

Evaluate the relevance of the source to your project as well as its quality. Relevance means how closely it touches your topic. (Is it

an argument about your topic? Or is its relevance less obvious?) Quality might mean the quality of its argument, or of the data it

presents, or of other elements. (Is it insightful? Did it revolutionize your understanding? Is it outdated, but full of useful factual

information? Is it lousy, but includes a great bibliography?)

A good annotation may discuss the following, if relevant:
–The methods or data used to support the argument.
–The purpose or aim of the source. (For example was it originally published as an attack on some other source? Or a defense of

something? Or was it proposing a new line of inquiry?)
–The intended audience of the source.
–The field in which the source was published.
–The place of the source in its field, if important. (Did it have an impact? Is it outdated?)
–A detailed discussion of a highlight from the source; this may be chosen on the basis of what is important to you rather than to the

source’s author, as long as you don’t mislead your reader.

Assessment: You will be graded on the quality of your sources, as well as the quality of your analyses. For a grade in the B or A

range, you must clearly state source arguments. See the senior thesis rubric for further information.
