Assignment 1

 

This week, through our work, we have had the opportunity to get to know each other and discuss the value of our respective undergraduate experiences. Additionally, we have begun to explore the following course outcomes:

 

•Apply knowledge of the liberal arts and/or sciences appropriate to the discipline

•Articulate how learning extends beyond the classroom

 

 

 

In this reflection journal, in at least 150 words, reflect back on what you have learned so far through the course readings, assignment (if you’ve completed it yet), and our discussion. Consider the following questions to guide your reflection:

 

•What, if anything, did you find surprising, particularly challenging, interesting, or useful?

 

•From what you know about this course so far, what connections can you make to previous learning experiences, and how do you think this course will help you as you move forward in your college and professional life?

 

•How do the course outcomes for this week apply to your experience so far?

 

•What questions do you still need answered?

 

 

 

 

 

 Assignment 2

 

Please post the topic you plan to explore. Include why you selected it and how it impacts your profession.

 

Your submission should be at least 250 words after which you must comment to at least two of your peers.

Assignment 10

 

Outline and Annotated Bibliography

 

Using your project proposal as a guide, develop an outline for your course paper and attach an annotated bibliography of a minimum of six (6) peer-reviewed resources. When you have completed your work, submit it to the drop box as a single document. Please refer to the following guidelines to help you shape your work:

 

Outline

 

Your outline should include the following:

 

•A brief introduction identifying your topic area, a working thesis statement, and a clearly defined statement on the position you are taking in this project

 

•A brief outline of each subpoint you will make to support your thesis statement (each subpoint you make will eventually become a body paragraph or two in your paper—you should plan to make several subpoints throughout your paper)

 

•A brief statement referring to how you might conclude your paper

 

You should expect to alter and define your position as you craft your paper, but you should use your outline to help you stay on track throughout the research and writing process.

 

Annotated Bibliography

 

Your annotated bibliography should include a full, APA-style citation followed by a brief annotation of at least six (6) peer-reviewed resources.

 

Each of your annotations should do the following:

 

•Identify the name of the source and the author(s)

 

•Summarize the main point(s) the author(s) makes and any relevant supporting subpoints

 

•Include a statement referring to the quality of the source (is it effective?) and how you might use it in your research project to support your position.
