Annotated Bibliography on Student-Run Businesses
It’s important that you evaluate each source you will use to make sure it’s credible and useful for your purpose. You will submit a list of three sources you plan to use: one source you will use to assess your audience, one source you will use to identify the need/problem, and one source you will use to analyze the market. For each source, include a citation using APA style. You will also address the following to explain what key information you’ll get from the source and why the source is credible:
- A brief summary of the source.
- What are the main arguments/ideas? If someone asked you about the content in this source, how would you answer?
- A brief assessment of the source.
- Analyze why the source is useful and credible. Mention if the source is objective or biased.
- A brief reflection on how/why this source will be used for your proposal.
