Research topic: Understanding the Impact of Nonverbal Communication on Interpersonal Relationships

Locate and cite (using the referencing style of your primary discipline) at least four books or journal articles on your topic that will help you answer your research questions. Using the framework for analyzing sources provided in chapter 5 and/or the Purdue OWL Guide to Annotated Bibliographies, write a brief annotation — a solid paragraph or so (200-250 words) — for each. Since this is an interdisciplinary project, you should make sure that your initial sources represent multiple disciplinary perspectives, approaches, and/or epistemologies. Be sure to 

• Summarize: "What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?"
• Evaluate: "Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?" The video and JHU guide will help you understand how to evaluate a source for authorship, currency, accuracy, publishing body, point of view or bias, and knowledge of the literature.
• Reflect: "Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?"
