You Should Be Contributing 6 Sourcesyou Are Asked To Produce A Growin

You should be contributing 6 sources. You are asked to produce a growing “webliography” of research sources. As students conduct research for each of their discussions and their project, they may share interesting academic articles and websites that relate to the course material. Check back often to see what others have posted. If the resource is strong, it will be added to the course content under "Open Educational Resources." When providing a resource, format it as an MLA bibliography, including all necessary information such as author, title, journal or date referenced, and URL, formatted properly in MLA style. Additionally, include an annotation paragraph that briefly describes the resource, explains its benefit to understanding art history or art historical practice, and assesses the academic quality of the source (peer-reviewed, author credentials, scholarly depth). The annotation should reflect what the article is about, why you found it useful, and your evaluation of its credibility.

Resources already listed in the course resource area under "Open Educational Resources" (such as Khan Academy and the Helibrunn Timeline) will not count toward this assignment. Similarly, sites of weak academic quality—including blogs, tourist sites, general encyclopedias, unrelated sites, or resources not pertaining to the course's historical periods—will not be accepted.
