Draft 1 was due today. I gave you the options of peer review or self review in preparation for Draft 2. You asked instead for my comments, opting to make Draft 2 your final draft, rather than Draft 3.
I have made some revision to the schedule to allow for this. Please see the schedule.

Sharing Google Docs
As you work on your Literature Review, please make sure that you check your Google Docs and make them share-able with me. I need to be able to edit your documents. The best option is to make this public to anyone who has the link, though you can also make it available only to me at jmarquar@kean.edu.
See this video, or ask me if you have questions.
If I have left comments for you about sharing, please
1) fix the sharing options and
2) email me to let me know that your homework is available to grade

Fun with Annotated Bibliographies
Annotated Bibliographies:
We decided as a class to reduce the number of annotated sources down to 15, rather than 20.
We will be working on your bibliography project in class today. As we prepare for your annotated bibliography, here are two samples to use.
The Bedford St. Martin sample bibliography (sample to follow)
The OWL at Purdue sample bibliography (lengthy annotations)
There are some significant differences between these two samples in terms of the kind of annotation I'd like you to do. The most important elements I want you to consider are 1) what does the text say and 2) how does this aid your project.
Many annotated bibliographies also evaluate the source and compare it to other sources. For this class, we are saving the synthesis of sources for your step of the Literature Review. So you need not include synthesis in your annotated bibliographies for this course (though future courses might ask you to include this).
Literature Review:
This step is due on Tuesday (week 11).
Here is an example of a literature review and how it can work in your essay.
- Please note: the first part of this is an annotated bibliography.
- the second step is the literature review.
Here is an example of how a literature review works in a published, academic essay.
Literature reviews are often found in scientific academic papers, introducing the topic.
Presentations:
I also asked you to think about your final presentations for the course. What do we want these to look like?
The standard option is for every person to stand before the class and read their papers. Or at least give a summary of their papers.
Another option is to adopt the idea of Gonzolab's "Dance Your PhD" in which researchers explain their ideas (the relationship between x and y) through funny choreographies/dances.
Here is one example:
We will determine this by Friday, so please be ready to respond.
