HUM 101 Global Campus Critical Reasoning Portfolio Project Paper
The following question is worth 300 points, or the majority of my final grade. Again this professor has been very difficult to work with and grades strictly off of the rubric. (100 level class with 500 level expectations) It is due no later than the 4th of Aug. at 12am. But would like to review it on the 2nd of Aug., giving time for any revisions.Please let me know if you need any additional information to get started on it.Thanks again!

Your annotated bibliography should include the following:Title page: include your name, date, title of annotated bibliography, and classIntroduction (Links to an external site.): provide a two-paragraph introduction that frames the issue or problem carefullyAnnotations (Links to an external site.): Summarize the main point or arguments of each scholarly source.

After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source? Each annotation should be roughly one or two paragraphs in length.
