  • Annotated Bibliography

    This assignment has four main goals:

    1. Increase your familiarity with Tulane Libraries and Resources
    2. Increase your understanding of how to compile sources into a literature review
    3. Increase your ability to perform research independently
    4. Increase your confidence and comfort with discussing your writing and research in public settings

    To achieve these goals, you will complete an annotated bibliography and give a TL;DR presentation.

    PLEASE NOTE…the goal of this assignment is to engage in the research process … YOU ARE NOT AND WILL NOT WRITE A “RESEARCH PAPER” THIS IS THE ASSIGNMENT!!!!!!!

    An Annotated Bibliography aids in the research process by providing a deeper understanding of how and

    why sources can or cannot contribute to research projects.

    Your annotated bibliography must include:

    10 properly cited sources in MLA INCLUDING

    A MINIMUM OF 5 BOOKS

    and AT LEAST 3 SCHOLARLY ARTICLES

    You will write a brief (1-2 paragraph) summary EACH source and why it is useful (or not) to your research.

    Please note: I will check the validity of each source to ensure it is not AI generated.

    Because this assignment focuses on the independent nature of the research process, your in-class time will be devoted to time in the library and reading your sources. This means that instead of having traditional class, you will be conducting research on your own.

    As such the weeks of February 16 and Feb 23 have been dedicated solely for you to fullty engage in your research.

    To receive full credit for this assignment, you must attend an individual conference with me. This individual conference will be via ZOOM, and will serve as a check-in to answer any questions you have about your research. The individual conference will take place during the week of March 2,

    By the time of your conference, you must have completed 5 of the 10 sources (a rough draft). As I will be meeting with all of my students across all three class, we will not meet formally as a class during this week. When you are not meeting with me, please use this time complete any reserach and poilish your bib.

    Also note — Midterm grades are due March 6–your grade will be derived from the completion and depth of your 2 writing assignments, the strength of your individual conference, and the strength of your rough draft. IF YOU MISS YOUR INDIVIDUAL CONFERENCE — YOUR MIDTERM GRADE WILL BE GREATLY IMPACTED.

    The final draft (all 10 sources) will be due IN CLASS on MONDAY MARCH 9. On this class day, you will present your TL;DR which will be about your annotated bib and research activities over the past few weeks.

    Here is a sample annotated bibliography (from a summer school student who is no longer a Tulane student) to give you an idea of what a good annotated bibliography looks like —

  • Project prep on Bipolar Disorder Assignment

    Instructions

    Consider the disorder you picked last week. What is going on in the brain of someone with that disorder? For this assignment, you will answer the following questions:

    • Choose one brain structure (e.g. amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex) OR one neurotransmitter (e.g. serotonin, dopamine) that is impacted by this disorder.
    • In your own words, describe what that brain structure or neurotransmitter is responsible for.
    • In your own words, make the connection between that brain structure/neurotransmitter and your chosen disorder.

    SAMPLE SUBMISSION

    Hoarding Disorder is impacted by the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC). The ACC plays a role in both emotion and decision making. When individuals with Hoarding Disorder view possessions that don’t belong to them, there is little activity in their ACC; however, when they are shown their own possessions, their ACC becomes overactive. This explains why they have a difficult time making the decision to throw things away and become emotionally attached to even something like junk mail (National Institutes of Health, 2012)

    National Institutes of Health (2012). Distinct Brain Activity in Hoarders.

    .

    Remember to reference and cite any research used within your assignment. All references and citations must be in APA format.

    My Draft :

    Bipolar disorder is strongly impacted by the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functioning, including decision making, impulse control, emotional regulation, and the ability to plan and think through consequences. It helps balance emotional responses by regulating activity from more reactive brain regions, such as the amygdala.

    In individuals with bipolar disorder, the prefrontal cortex often shows reduced activity or disrupted functioning, particularly during mood episodes. This impaired regulation contributes to the extreme mood shifts seen in bipolar disorder. During manic episodes, decreased prefrontal control can lead to impulsivity, risky behavior, poor judgment, and elevated mood. During depressive episodes, altered prefrontal activity is associated with difficulty concentrating, slowed thinking, and impaired emotional regulation. The imbalance between the prefrontal cortex and emotional brain regions helps explain why individuals with bipolar disorder experience difficulty stabilizing mood and behavior across episodes (Phillips & Swartz, 2014).

  • Annotated bibliography

    For this assignment, please submit a reference page with at least 5 references with a brief description of the reference and how it supports your research evaluation project. This assignment will also assist you in developing your literature review and give you a head start on your final paper/ report (which have at least 10 references). Essentially, this is a reference page w/ brief description of the source cited, that mimics an annotated bibliography.

    What is an annotated bibliography? It is simply a descriptive list of resources (books, articles, films, sound recordings, web sites, etc.) focusing on a common theme. Make a list of citations for various books, articles, and other sources on your topic: this list and sources should be cited in APA formatting. Also, include a short summary and/or critical evaluation of the source. We will review your potential sources and feasibility for your project.

    You may explore the for additional examples.

    • What was your research question(s) based on your evaluation topic from Assignment 1? What sources have you discovered that will support your research evaluation project? Are these feasible and appropriate sources to utilize and cite (i.e. peer reviewed journal, articles, books, etc.)?

    Please submit a one-to-two-page APA bibliography with at least 5 of the 10 professional resources you will utilize for your final paper. This is just a brief, modified. You can use the NICE presentation as an example of the type of research that is applicable to your paper. Please try to have this completed to review prior to your first Individual meeting.

  • Needs Assessment

    A needs assessment is a systematic process that provides information about social needs or issues in a place or population group and determines which issues should be prioritized for action. The term ‘social issue’ as used here is intended to be deliberately broad and essentially denotes an identified problem in a place or population. Social issues, or ‘needs’, can include health-related topics such as the increased prevalence of poor mental health in a population or high smoking rates, or issues such as low levels of literacy or child development. In this context, a social need or social issue is something that can be addressed by service providers (or community members in a community development initiative). Ultimately, a needs assessment gathers information about the issue that can then inform service provision or policy development.

    A needs assessment in this context moves beyond individual assessment and explores the needs of a community. Community is frequently defined in terms of a geographical area, but a needs assessment could also explore the needs of a specific population group; for example, the needs of single-parent families. A needs assessment in a geographical area may also have a focus on priority population groups.

    A needs assessment is most often undertaken in order to allocate or redistribute resources and design programs, policies, and services. However, needs assessment can also be considered as a form of evaluation, or as a component of program evaluation, because it involves collecting information in order to make an evaluative judgement about what needs exist in a community, what needs should be prioritized, and how a particular policy, service, program or suite of activities will address those needs. A needs assessment can also provide baseline data that can be used in an evaluation.

    Importantly, a needs assessment is best undertaken as a systematic process (Altschuld & Kumar, 2005; Rossi, Lipsey, & Freeman, 2004):

    1. Decisions are made about the scope of the needs assessment.
    2. There is a plan to collect information.
    3. Data are collected and analyzed.
    4. These data are used to determine priorities and make decisions about resource allocation, program design, and service delivery.
