ABSTRACT

Anyone who reviews books or articles for journals or magazines will confirm that there’s no better way of making oneself look deeply into a book or article than to be charged with the task of writing a review of it! Getting students to write reviews is therefore a logical way of causing them to interact in depth with the information they review. One way of getting students to review a lot of material at once is to ask them to produce annotated bibliographies on a topic area, and to use these as assessment artefacts.
