Most often, students think of them as monotonous and a waste of time. Before this class, I had never done an annotated bibliography so I was a little more open to the idea. I\u2019d heard horror stories, but I\u2019ve always had a morbid curiosity about horror so I was ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Well, imagine my surprise when I realized I liked annotated bibliographies. It combined three of my favorite things: research, writing, and guidelines. It was a bonus that I liked my topic as well. If I hadn\u2019t like my topic\u2026well, to be honest, I probably still would have liked doing it because I like research.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/media0.giphy.com\/media\/fpXxIjftmkk9y\/giphy.gif\" width=\"250\" height=\"267\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Giphy<\/p><\/div>\n<p>To be blunt, I think the horror stories stem from laziness and difficult teachers. The first because if someone doesn\u2019t like writing to begin with, why would they want to write paragraph after paragraph about a subject that they\u2019re probably bored to tears of.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t say that I have a solution, but I think I do have a compromise. Teachers want annotated bibliographies so that their students will take the time to understand their sources and be able to use them. Students don\u2019t want annotated bibliographies because they take what seems like an eternity, and this is after the initial research phase. And given that many college students are procrastinators, long essays are hell on a sleep schedule.<\/p>\n<p>And, for anyone on a tight schedule with no clue where to begin, be amazed.
