Evaluating the Research
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate what you have learned in the course. In order to do this you will be creating an annotated bibliography that captures the essence of each of the topics studied for the course. As you will recall fromWeek 3 one way in which psychology examines issues surrounding human motivation is to review current research on related topics. For this assignment you will review current research and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is simply a brief summary and an analysis of the peer reviewed journal. You will utilize the South University Online Library to find peer reviewed journal articles that are no more than 5 years old to fulfill this assignment. For more information on the required format of the bibliography please click on annotated bibliography template.

For instance a newspaper article will come up in a literature search but this is not a scholarly journal. Thus you must be able to discern the difference between an appropriate and inappropriate resource.
