Six Sources Weighed for a Paper on Campus Drinking Norms: An Annotated Source List Saying for Each What It Is, What It Found or States and Which Claim It Could Support, Including One News Feature Kept on the List but Rejected

What this page is doingThe title names the paper the list serves and the three-part annotation each entry follows.

Purpose of the List

The planned paper argues that college students tend to overestimate how much their peers drink, and that correcting that misperception can reduce drinking. Each annotation below has three parts: what the source is, what it found or states, and which claim in the paper it could support. Sources are mixed on purpose, from a textbook to a randomized trial, so the paper can show which claims rest on strong evidence.

What this page is doingThe opening says which paper the sources are for, since an annotation is judged by whether it ties a source to a claim.

Annotated Sources

Spielman et al. (2020), Psychology 2e, OpenStax

The assigned course textbook, used here for its chapter on social psychology. It explains conformity and social influence, including how people adjust their behavior to what they believe others do. It could support the paper's background claim that perceived norms shape behavior, as a general principle rather than a finding about drinking (Spielman et al., 2020).

Perkins and Berkowitz (1986), International Journal of the Addictions

A survey study at a single college. In a sample of more than a thousand students, most held moderate personal attitudes about alcohol but believed their peers were more permissive than they were (Perkins & Berkowitz, 1986). It could support the paper's central claim that students misperceive peer norms, though from one campus and an earlier period.

Lewis and Neighbors (2006), Journal of American College Health

A review article on personalized normative feedback, interventions that show students how their drinking compares with actual campus norms. The authors summarize evidence that students consistently overestimate peers' drinking and that correcting these misperceptions can reduce drinking (Lewis & Neighbors, 2006). It could support the claim that correcting misperceptions works, especially when feedback is personalized.

DeJong et al. (2006), Journal of Studies on Alcohol

A randomized trial across 18 institutions. Campuses assigned to social norms marketing campaigns showed lower perceived drinking norms and lower student drinking than control campuses (DeJong et al., 2006). It is the strongest source on the list for the claim that campus-wide campaigns can reduce drinking, and the paper would note that later trials have produced mixed results.

College drinking, a federal agency fact sheet

A fact sheet from the federal research institute on alcohol, summarizing patterns and consequences of college drinking and pointing to resources for prevention (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 2024). It could support the paper's introduction on why college drinking matters, but not claims about norms interventions specifically.

A news feature on one campus's "party culture" (rejected, not cited)

A magazine feature describing one campus through interviews with a few students. It is kept on the list but marked rejected: it reports impressions rather than data, its students were chosen for colorful quotes, and its claim that "everyone drinks" is exactly the kind of misperception the paper describes. Including it as evidence would undercut the paper's argument.

What the List Shows

The strongest evidence for the paper's main claims comes from the randomized trial and the review; the single-campus survey supports the misperception claim but is older and local; the textbook and the agency page provide background only. The rejected feature is a reminder that sources about a topic are not all evidence for a claim about it.

What this page is doingA closing paragraph sorts the sources by strength, so the paper's claims can be matched to the evidence that can bear them.

INHE 1003 Week 9 instructions, in plain terms

The ninth week asks you to build an annotated source list for a paper you are planning. Choose five or six sources of different kinds, such as a textbook, a review, a survey, a trial, a government page and a popular source. Give each a short heading and an annotation of about eighty words with three parts: what the source is, what it found or states and which claim in your paper it could support. Include at least one source you have rejected, and explain why. Close with a paragraph sorting your sources by the strength of evidence they offer. Provide full references for every source you cite.

Inside the INHE 1003 Week 9 example

The drinking norms list opens with the paper's claim and the three-part annotation format. The textbook entry supports a background principle about social influence. The Perkins and Berkowitz entry describes students holding moderate attitudes while believing peers were more permissive. The Lewis and Neighbors entry summarizes evidence that correcting misperceptions can reduce drinking. The DeJong and colleagues entry reports lower perceived norms and drinking on campaign campuses and notes mixed later results. The federal fact sheet supports only background. The news feature is rejected for reporting impressions, not data. A closing paragraph ranks the trial and review as strongest and the survey as older and local. Annotations follow the same order every time, so the list can be compared at a glance.

Where the marks sit in the INHE 1003 Week 9 rubric

Each annotation is judged on its three parts. Readers check that the source type, its finding and its link to a specific claim are all stated accurately. Choosing sources of different kinds and saying how strong each is earns credit, since the assignment builds judgment about evidence. The rejected source and its explanation are weighed heavily, as they show critical evaluation. The closing paragraph should sort sources by strength. Lists that summarize sources without linking them to claims, include popular sources as evidence, or omit the rejected entry fall into the middle range. A list that shows the writer read beyond abstracts, for instance by noting a sample or design, earns more.

INHE 1003 Week 9 help from the desk

Write your paper's main claim first, then search for sources that bear on it, aiming for different types. For each, read enough to say what type of source it is and what it reports. Then ask which sentence in your paper it could support. If a source tells a good story without evidence, put it on the list as rejected and say why. Keep annotations to about eighty words. Rank the sources at the end. Note the publication year of each source, since older survey results may describe a different campus culture. A tutor can help you judge source strength, and the drinking norms list above follows the three-part format.

An annotated list starts from a question, so include the topic your section set, how many sources it requires and the rubric. Weighed entries in the required count arrive within 24 to 48 hours, with no fee on a first list. The sources named in the example are illustrative, and yours would be chosen for your own question.
