Writing an annotation: Reflecting on the content
In addition to objectively summarising and assessing the source, you should also reflect on its usefulness to your assignment and your thinking about the topic.
In particular, consider:
 |
How relevant is the content to your assignment? |
|
Has the argument impacted on your previously
held views? How?
|
|
How will you be using the source in your own work? |
|
Would you recommend this source to other students in your group? Why? |
Thinking about these points will not only help you use the source appropriately in your current assignment, it will also remind you in the future of the value you placed on it at the time you wrote the annotation.
