Your response to your fellow student is due by this week Sunday at midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST).

For this discussion, you'll learn about the annotated bibliography, which will be the first assignment you'll submit. For your WA #1, you'll gather five (5) scholarly sources on the topic that you've chosen and write an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography consists of APA-formatted citations and written paragraphs that summarize, describe, and evaluate the referenced articles.

In evaluating the article, you'll ask questions like: Does the source seem reliable? Is it current? What limitations have you noted in the study? How does the material relate to your topic? Will you find the material useful for your work?
