Course grades in CEFS 620 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
Check every publication date; a source older than five years does not count.
The CEFS 620 Week 3 method, step by step
Define the scope of the search
Write down the question the review serves and the limits of the search: years, populations, study types. The scope tells the grader why these sources and not others.
Search systematically
Use the library databases with a fixed set of terms and filters, and collect more than the minimum (At least 10 references less than 5 years old).
Organize by theme, not by article
Group the studies by what they found or argue. A review that summarizes one article per paragraph is an annotated list; a review organized by theme is synthesis.
Compare and evaluate
Within each theme, say where studies agree, where they differ, and which evidence is stronger.
Identify the gap
Name the gap the sources leave open and how it connects to your question.
Format the references carefully
Apply current APA to every citation and reference; reviews are where reference errors cluster (At least 10 annotated references).
Each summary paragraph gives the study's purpose, sample, method and main findings, with one sentence on how it will be used in your paper.
A structure for CEFS 620 Week 3 IPP Annotated Bibliography
Word targets are planning numbers for about 900 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.

| Summaries | A paragraph for each. | ~400 words |
| APA | Correct formatting. | ~140 words |
A topic angle that works
These references become the final paper's evidence, so choose peer-reviewed studies directly on your topic and age group.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
This randomized trial tested a school-based cognitive behavioral program for anxious 12 to 14-year-olds across 20 schools. Students who completed the eight-week program reported lower anxiety than controls at the end and at six months. It will support the paper's section on school-based interventions.
