Annotated Bibliography

Value: 10 percent
Due: End of Week 5

Please write an annotated bibliography of the sources you will use to support your thesis. Provide a list and brief description of at least 10 sources (this is the minimum requirement to earn at least a B.) These should be specific sources, not just places where you can find sources. The goal here is to see that you have dug in a bit and actually found something that pertains to the issue you will be researching.

Bibliographies must contain 6-8 pages of content.
Each annotation must include a full, properly formatted APA citation and one to two complete paragraphs explaining the basic argument the work makes and the type of evidence used to prove this thesis.
Bibliographies must contain at least 10 sources (this is the minimum requirement to earn at least a B), including a variety of primary and secondary sources, including two full-length books from reputable academic presses, five primary sources, and articles from at least three scholarly, academic journals.
Wikipedia, Answers.com, encyclopedias, dictionaries and non-professional web sites are not accepted sources.
All bibliographies are to be written in Microsoft Word or RTF, double-spaced, with no more than 1.25” margins, using standard 12 point font.

The final paper must include a brief history of the strategy as well as answer the following questions: Why is this a terrorist strategy? Which terrorists use this strategic method? Why? When is this strategic method effective? Why? What are the flaws of this strategy? Why? and What infrastructures support the use of this method as part of a terrorist strategy? How and Why?

Shortly after you submit your assignment you will receive helpful feedback to improve your writing from within the Turnitin software tool embedded in our classroom. You can submit your paper to Turnitin multiple times before the assignment due date. However, once I start grading your assignment, that submission will be your final one; you cannot submit a new paper.

Once you submit your assignment to the Assignment folder, your paper will be submitted automatically to Turnitin generating a Similarity Report. When a Similarity Report is available for viewing, a similarity score percentage will be made available that can be accessed from the Assignment folder by selecting the Submitted link located under “Completion Status” or by clicking the View History button, allowing you to review your paper as needed.

The paper must be 2000-2500 words, excluding the title page, abstract and bibliography, which must also be included with the final paper as a single file. You must include a word count at beginning of the paper.
Papers will be in APA format and must use at least 5 primary and 5 secondary sources to demonstrate the plausibility of a clearly stated, analytical thesis if hoping to earn an A.
Proper grammar and spelling are required
Papers must be written in Microsoft Word or RTF, double spaced, with no more than 1.25” margins using standard 12 point font.
Restrict your sources to newspaper articles from major national and international papers, published journals and magazine articles, academic sources, and websites from major organizations and government agencies. Course materials may be used as a reference, but it does not count toward the minimum number of sources. Encyclopedias and dictionaries are not appropriate sources for college level work. Online sources are fine, but they must be authoritative sources. Wikipedia, About.com, and other nonacademic websites are not acceptable sources. (Bear in mind that anyone can submit an article to Wikipedia.) If you are unsure about how to determine whether an online source is a good one, the Online Writing Lab at Purdue University has an excellent resource guide: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_evalsource4.html. If you still have doubts as to whether a source is acceptable, send your instructor an e-mail.
