Assignment 1: Exploring Research on Social Problems

Overview

For this assignment, we will choose a social problem and start to explore research that has been conducted on the topic. You will search the APUS library and other “reputable,” scholarly websites and find at least 5 sources that have studied your social problem in some capacity. 

Instructions:

1. Choose a social problem
2. Search the APUS library, Google scholar, and other reputable, scholarly sites to find research studies on your topic. 
3. Create an annotated bibliography for 5 scholarly sources. Each annotated bibliography should include the following, 
   1. An overview of the article topic
   2. The research method used for the study
   3. The study results
   4. How this article fits with your chosen topic

Do not use unverifiable, secondary sites such as Wikipedia, about.com, ask.com, and similar. Use our course materials, peer-reviewed journal articles from the library, and other scholarly sources.

If you are unsure about how the structure of an annotated bibliography should look, check out this Purdue OWL website, which offers an overview of how to construct an annotated bibliography along with some examples. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/common_writing_assignments/annotated_bibliographies/annotated_bibliography_samples.html
