Ashford 4: - Week 3 - Assignment

Annotated Bibliography
 

The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to assist you in developing research analysis skills including critical thinking, writing, and literature research skills. The annotated bibliography should include a paragraph for each source containing the following information:

• Name of the article, including      the complete bibliographic citation, using APA format.
• Summary/abstract of the article      – annotation (sometimes it is helpful to ask yourself the following      questions in synthesizing the information: 
  • Who? (author)
  • What was done? (e.g., an       experimental study investigating the interaction of short term memory and       attention)
  • How? (was it done)
• What were the findings?      (identify the major ones)
• Contributions? (new findings,      applications, etc.)

Review the complete instructions for the Final Paper in Week Five. To conduct accurate research for the annotated bibliography, consider the following:

• Research in peer-reviewed      journals or other journals that are considered to have reliable      information (do not use sources from the secular press (e.g., Time,      Newsweek, or Wikipedia). Review the guidelines for acceptable      sources by reading the “Academic Research” section within the Student      Responsibilities and Policies tab under Course Home on the left navigation      toolbar in your online course.
• Identify at least ten academic      sources at least six of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library.      If you do find something on the World Wide Web, it must be authored and be      a reliable source.
• In these journals, the research      and information is either reviewed by an editorial team (such as for the      Academy of Management Review) or a group of peers (such as in many      journals you find through the Ashford Online Library).  

For information regarding the annotated bibliography, refer to the Sample Annotated Bibliography found in the Ashford Writing Center within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
 

You must use at least ten scholarly sources (at least six of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library) other than the textbook. The descriptions for each source must be at least one paragraph in length. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
 

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
