Annotated Bibliography
Dolby, Nadine. “Community College Makeover.” Social Work and Society: The International Journal, vol. 6, no. 2, 2008, www.socwork.net/sws/article/view/60/362. Accessed 20 May 2017.
This article focuses on the weakening of “open access to higher education in California” and the changes a state task force is proposing to transform the way community colleges are run, hopefully making them more efficient and fair. While the author agrees that some of these proposed changes are necessary, such as revoking registration priority to students who have taken 100 units or more, he or she also sees the problems in the task force’s recommendations, such as the lack of funding to implement these changes and the rigidity in the academic plans students would be forced to make. The goal of this source is to educate readers about the proposed changes to California community colleges and to critique the changes that would harm instead of helping students. The author is fair in his or her assessment of the task force’s proposed changes but does have a definite argument in favor of open access education. Also, the article would be more effective if he or she had used more data to support the argument. This source has helped me understand the problems facing community colleges in much more depth and will be useful to my paper because of its thoroughness in relating the changes the task force proposes.

Annotated Bibliography
Lundberg, Carol A. "Peers and faculty as predictors of learning for community college
students." Community College Review 42.2 (2014): 79-98.
The author concentrated on examining the degree to which the interaction of students in their
faculty, peer learning scenarios, the involvement of students in organization, and discussion
with different other students added to the self-reported studying for multiculturally based
students affect community colleges. The article recognizes the significance of community
colleges in the American higher education sector. The author presents statistics showing the
role played by community colleges. For instance, the author demonstrates that community
colleges enroll about 26% of full-time students in higher education in the U.S. yearly. The
author further adds that 64% of the part-time students across the U.S. enter higher learning
institutions through community colleges. Th author examined the effect of the diversity of
student population across the United States of America and proposed that robust
opportunities for students through interactions with learners of socioeconomic, racial, and
ethnic backgrounds are different from the others. According to the author, such type of
learning is recognized as a potential advantage in diverse settings in higher education
facilities. However, the same factors have not been explored in community colleges.
