English 102 Annotated Bibliography
For writing Project #2, your job is to choose an issue in which there is significant disagreement among experts and create an MLA works cited page with annotations based on that research. This can be based on a topic related your major or not. The decision is up to you. You must have no less than fifteen (15) works cited entries in all; more is probably better. Writing Project #2 should total no less than 1000 words in total, including annotations.
Writing Project #2 will directly lead into Writing Project #3. Whatever controversy you discover and research in Project #2 will be the same controversy you propose a solution for in Project #3 The Formal Proposal. With that in mind, make sure to choose a topic you like and are genuinely interested in.*
Examples of controversies in majors might include: the role of A.I. in society (Computer Science), the bioethics of cloning (Medical Science), the dangers of algorithm use on stock exchanges (business).
