One thing that I do not like about papers is the Annotated Bibliography. If unfamiliar with what an Annotated Bibliography is, it's basically a Works Cited page, but with a brief summary as to what the source discusses. Here is a sample Annotated Bibliography (source):
The main purpose of an Annotated Bibliography is to provide sources to the instructor so that they can verify their reliability and provide others that may be more helpful. I have had teachers more than once provide sources that I had no idea existed. Though they create more work for already stressed-out students, they can eventually lead to a better grade for the actual paper. And any time that we can get a better grade for a paper is a plus.
