Why in the fuck did bots decide to spam this shit man 😂😭

[@vbrekk]

Thank you walking through each step one by one, as a first timer completing an annotated bibliography this was very helpful. Even the explanation of text, size, and what doi is in relation to the AB was great.

[@reginawebster9188]

Raechel, As a non-traditional student this video was extremely helpful. Your method of teaching made it easy for me to understand and become less frightened to write my annotated bibliography! I appreciate you!

[@itzel6922]

I was working with annotated bibliography for the first time in college, and now I understand it properly. Thank you so much!

[@harmonypotts2432]

This was extremely helpful! My professor's assistant did a garbage job explaining and instead rambled on and on about the library database. Thank you so much for this.

[@lespaulbuchko19]

So happy I found this video. Just started learning APA and it seemed very complicated. You simplified it enough for the not so computer savvy people like myself. Thank you!

[@sherrardthomasii7793]

Great video. You explain everything so easy. Now I'm not scared to write annotated biblographies. Thank you!!!

[@AlexanderNejadeh]

Thank you for the "vid", very concise and clear. As a new student taking 400 level classes, my professor advised us we need to write an 8-12 page "annotated" paper. It has been more than a few years since I've written a paper like this, and the JC level classes never require it. the CSUF class does in Retirement & Financial Planning.

[@akiraman21]

I'm just going to say it. this video saved my hair line... or what left of it after finding this video.

[@David-fb5ro]

nice

i am glad i found this video. i am about to pull my eyes out

[@andrewblack2596]

@@olymphiaking3255 ...Or you could just use the Google Scholar button for citation APA format. Done.

[@RaechelSoicher]

Savina-You should never rearrange the order of the authors' names. The order typically indicates how much of the work each author did on the paper and so carries meaning.

[@shaydayazdanmehr6483]

This was so straightforward and easy to follow! Thank you so much.

[@Jallah-Tafari]

Yes, it is! The internet + people kind enough to share this type of information = priceless!

[@annacarter1630]

This was a very well-done, simple way of explaining how to write an annotated bibliography paper. Thank you!

[@waynebills1864]

Very helpful. Just a technical note: Times New Roman is a "Serif" font, not a "Sans Serif." The font you are reading here is Sans Serif -- meaning without serifs -- or in other words more of a block letter style. Serifs are the extra little "tails" or "wings" on the typeface. A side-by-side comparison makes the difference clear. There are a variety of fonts in both styles. (Hope that helps anyone who might not have known.)

[@medlogis]

This is by far the best video I have seen on this topic. Thank you

[@sahibamehry5596]

wow, this video is really amazing, I did not have any idea about annotated bibliography before watching this video you saved my life @Raechel Soicher. With love from Afghanistan.

[@sarah32701]

Thank you soooo much. Just started on my first annotated bib assignment and was going crazy. Very informative.

[@Sunkistkay]

Raechel, this was extremely helpful and very easy to understand. Thank you for taking the time to post!

[@blesseddaily9651]

Thanks so very much Raechel, I'm new with writing in APA formatting, and this video has been such a big help, Thanks a bunch, and God Bless!

[@sherminabbasi3195]

thank you for this video it is very clear to show what exactly is APA thanks a lot!!

[@jairusandjoteevee]

Wow that helps me a lot. I was given an assignment on annotated bibliography and God knows what it is for me. lol. I'm like, what? haha! Thank you for this video I now have an idea on what to do with my assignment. :-)

[@Kimberly031081]

This was a good video BUT, most important, the author's name in the reference is the only thing remaining on the left. Below the reference which is always done hanging because it is an apa reference, always indent the text below the reference lining up with the second line of the reference. This is formatted incorrectly.

[@jnmontgomery530]

Thankyou

[@foxredimpala]

That’s what I thought. Thanks!

[@catherinechandler-tressler4418]

I agree!! This is SUPER important. Raechel, please update the description to add this very important info.

[@llamaxluv]

That is so much more helpful than anything else I have seen!

[@iisaii]

The title of the article is italicized and the title of the journal is regular as of 2020.

[@RaechelSoicher]

SweetpeaMango: yes, the volume number is italicizes. The issue number is not. The issue number, if you have one, appears in parentheses after the volume number. See owl.english.purdue.edu for more info.

[@RaechelSoicher]

The text are annotations - they include the hypothesis, a brief synopsis of the methods of the resource, and a comparison of each source to the others being used for the assignment. However, these are particular requirements for my classes. Your professor may have different requirements.

[@marcygadeck3905]

I only saw you detail explanation of setting up the citation for the journal reference. you say there was a brief synopsis of the methods of source but the video is only 9 minutes and I don't see you discussing setting up the citation in detail for websites such as www.MDA.org

[@RaechelSoicher]

Hi Jerry. Technically there should not be extra space. I have modified this video to describe an assignment I use in my class, that is why it is different.

[@Kiran._.Dhillon]

thank you for making a video. explained nicely and subtitles are best way to explain.

[@jeffreyellis2876]

That was a very nice presentation, and will be very helpful. Thank You, Jeffrey

[@RaechelSoicher]

Joshua - There's a great web resource that will help you. Look in the video description for the web address.

[@hzeebee1]

Thanks, this helped me so much. I had no clue what my instructor wanted.

[@angeladay2196]

Thank you very much, for your end up analysis of the subject.

[@RaechelSoicher]

@Austin often times the automatic citation generators do not put things in the correct format.

[@Spidy52761]

Thank you very much for this example!!!!!! You rock from here to Saturn, back-and-forth!!!!!!!

[@jerinacordova-lieb8290]

Thank you for this step by step. I wanted to make a comment on the paragraph indentation. I was also looking on the Perdue writing lab website and it looks like in addition to the hanging indentation of the cite the annotation is indented further. Is there a difference between APA 6 and 7 that makes this difference?

[@RaechelSoicher]

No, Loten. For a citation that is not in the text of your writing, you only use et al. if there are more than 6 authors.

[@jop7672]

Fyi we can teams how to set up your title page and page numbers - I assume the want APA7 format

[@LadyL31786]

Raechel Soicher Thank you very much for doing this. when doing an annotated citation page, do you have to put "Annotated Citation", or "References"?

[@barbiesocrazy]

How do u do the cover page

What do I do if I'm making an annotated bib for a book?

[@sunnyo2233]

Do you have to arrange the authors' surnames alphabetically too?

[@kokoklopez9111]

Thank you, Raechel for taking the time in explaining this. You are a life saver. How many words usually are the annotations?

and do we need a running head?

@ismexx the DOI is better than a URL. Use the DOI instead.

do my sources need a journal?

Thanks for this.. You might helped with my university career lol!

[@02RachelSanchez]

Thank you for this video. It was clear and easy to follow along.

[@brendand.6979]

For APA format, is the Annotated Bibliography considered a Works Cited page? I'm use to the MLA format. Thanks in advance.

[@RaechelSoicher]

Brendan - no these are not the same. A "works cited" is equivalent to the "References" page in APA. I recommend the OWL APA website for more resources (just Google it).

[@brendand.6979]

Thank you!

[@tylerprior9567]

It would be nice to have audio or voice over to provide context to what is being done. For example, does a blank line go between each reference and annotation or no? Because I see both in the video and no audio makes it hard to completely discern why. Unless I'm an idiot and I missed something, which is very possible.

[@Jallah-Tafari]

Hi! I'm writing a science textbook. I've solved a lot of problems without reliance upon any texts in particular ( it's a physics book ). Would it be necessary for me to create a bibliography? If the answer is " yes ", how would this be done ( I have few if any quotations in my text. )

[@1rhutson]

You just saved me, thank you! Great video.

[@mwhitneyo]

As another poster said, Times is a serif font, not a sans serif font. Calibri would be a sans serif font. Thanks for the great video!

[@emmapursley1738]

What if the title of the article has a proper noun in it? Then do you capitalize the proper noun?

[@brl7731]

Very helpful, is this APA 6th Edition?

[@jerryharris8049]

How much space between each annotation?

[@wubbs77]

why did you choose to leave the issue number (3) out of your example?

[@RaechelSoicher]

The issue number is optional because not all journals have more than one issue per year. If you have it, provide it.

[@fowadkhan5938]

Hi, your tutorial is very helpful and I really appreciate they way it is formatted. I am little unclear over the concept of Annotated Bibliography vs References. Let me answer my question, and you can tell me whether it is right or wrong. AB have the citation, however, it needs one paragraphic summary, related to Author's work, on the other hand Referencing only needs a link to the respective (book)(author) or (article). Right?

[@shannonmiklavicz6573]

I have a few questions, what happens if you don't find/ the article don't show the USI OR Page, year & date etc. what do u you? thanks :)

[@shannonmiklavicz6573]

some journal don't show some of the informations regarding to usi, page, year and Volume number. that's a reason why i ask the question. :)

[@imanikelly4894]

what do you do if there's no author?

[@ClaudiaJGil]

Raechel, you have the voice of the narrator in all of the Ashford University tutorial/instructional videos. Is that you ?

[@RaechelSoicher]

Claudia J. Gil nope!

[@jerryharris8049]

...so from one annotation from the next, there is no extra line space? look at your spacing at 7:28. How much space is that big gap?

[@bradenmeyer7465]

Okay but what's the difference between this and a works cited page?

[@AmarMiAmor]

Hey are you sure the volume number has to be italicized?? Im getting mixed answers :(

[@Hillxo12]

Girl, thanks for having my back.

[@k_h4258]

Straight to the point. Thank you

[@davidr.w.7517]

Hi. Which APA edition are you sampling here?

[@cynthiajohnson6532]

Thank you for some good information. However... ** What you are illustrating is the REFERENCES listing, and NOT an Annotated Bibliography. The Annotated Bibliography includes a paragraph that details the information in that source that justifies its inclusion in the paper and demonstrates how the source is used in the paper, etc... ** Also, for formatted paragraphs (outdented and indented) it is MUCH better to use Word's Styles or at least paragraph formatting to achieve the desired indentation. **For Body content of APA paper: Paragraph | Indentation | Special... First line = 0.50" | OK ** For Reference listing outdent in APA paper: Paragraph | Indentation | Special... Hanging = 0.50" | OK ... DANGER: When you break up a paragraph (by hitting "enter"), you destroy the flow of the document and introduce greater chance of error as you continue to edit your paper. If you work with "special characters revealed" (click the paragraph button from the Home ribbon in the Paragraph section, upper right corner), you will be able to see all paragraphs in your paper as well as all spaces and tab marks. It makes it MUCH easier Thanks again for your demonstration in how to find the particular elements required for APA references! You did a GREAT job!!! [Personally, I prefer to use Zotero as my free citation manager, but my reliance on it means that there are nuances of APA that I forget. sigh...]

[@teddyb1608]

Is the text that comes after the citation original that you write as the author or is it copied from the document?

[@7308440]

What if the last names of authors are same? How should we put the reference list in the right order in that case? Thanks in Advance.

[@RaechelSoicher]

Do you mean that you have two references whose first author is the same last name? In that case, put them in order by the second author's last name. If you have two citations from the same authors, put them in order by year of publication.

[@7308440]

Yes. Thank you

[@frankworld7843]

Raechel Soicher can i send you my project for you to format it for me as well as adding the references and table of contents

[@AlexanderNejadeh]

+Frank Odhis Is this person "joking"? Let me send you my work as well to complete for me :)

[@frankworld7843]

i can now do it

[@guyintheinternet284]

Thanks this helped in my assignments.

[@tgorant]

Quick question....the paragraph under the citation ...is that the abstract from the article or is it your own summation of the article?

[@ElaineAlbright]

Thanks, Excellent instruction.

[@miqbio2628]

Overall a great video! However, I think you made a mistake identifying Times New Roman as a sans-serif font as it is a serif font. A sans-serif font would like something like Arial.

[@ScottieNic]

You are a life saver. Thank you!

[@Faymysticreations]

thank you for posting this it helps a lot to see it

[@austinomarah5976]

You do realize that you can enter your references through the references tab in your word document and you don't have to type it all into your page as there is an actual macro integrated into the reference tab as a insert new reference

[@floh4846]

This information was very helpful. Thanks!

[@RaechelSoicher]

As long as you are applying "double space" to the whole document, you should be good.

[@blackblastgaming1381]

Quick question, what if a specific article has no volume number

[@adrianandjentan5029]

Is this APA 6th or 7th?

[@ChikenNdWafflez]

im still confused..what exactly ar the annotations??? is it my words or is that copied and pasted?? so confused...

[@charlenedarling1109]

I'm not 100% sure but I've been doing a lot of research on this because the APA Publication Manual 6th ed does not discuss this topic. OWL perdue says to write 2 paragraphs--not 1 like this author has. The first paragraph is to be a summary of the book and the 2nd paragraph is an evaluation of the book. I have also seen 3rd paragraphs discuss how it was applicable to the author's paper. However, on all the examples I've seen, the formatting has been different on every one.

[@jbbh6781]

Thanks the information was helpful, also thanks for not going to fast.

[@capisce2367]

Do you not alphabetize the authors in the article?
