Demonstrate critical thinking skills by researching a problem and identifying credible evidence to support your solution to it.

Information Fluency and Academic Integrity

This Signature Assignment fulfills Core Competency #3, Information Literacy: Evaluate and cite credible academic sources in a discipline
appropriate format.
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate critical thinking skills by researching a problem and identifying credible evidence to support your solution to it. To do so, you will evaluate sources in a reasoned, reflective, and informed manner. You must then explain why each source is credible and relevant.

These sources will form the foundation of your argument. If you cannot provide evidence to the reader that they are authoritative, your audience will not be persuaded that your argument is trustworthy.
For this assignment, you will compile six authoritative sources into an annotated bibliography. This assignment is not an essay. It is a small-scale
version of an annotated bibliography . It will look like a References page, but with additional information about each
source/citation.
