Features of an Annotations

The annotation usually contains a brief summary of content and a short

analysis or evaluation useful to the Personal Interest Project.
It is a list of research sources that includes concise descriptions and
evaluations of each source.
Annotations should be insightful and are more than a description about
the source. It is a critique, a judgment or evaluation of how important the
sources is and how reliable the information is.
