Assignment 2 – Final Project Analytical Annotated Bibliography, due Tuesday, Week 4

This assignment is worth 20% of your final grade.

For this step of your final projects development, you will report the results of your research into a resolution of your papers workplace* communication problem topic in an Analytical Annotated Bibliography for three authoritative sources that you plan to use in your project to support your thesis.

Before you begin, review Module 4, “Giving Credit Where Credit is Due: Attribution and Citation,” of the to refresh your understanding of why scholars document their research with in-text citations and references.

Objective: Your objective is to demonstrate your ability to research and critically analyze information that can support your projects thesis.

Caution: The three sources you use for this assignment must be different from the three that you wrote about in Assignment 1, your literature review. Focus your research for this step assignment on professional and scholarly business journal research and case studies on possible resolutions to yours or similar workplace communication problems.

(*Remember, if you are not employed or cannot discuss your workplace, you should be using a communication problem from another organizational setting in which you are involved for your final project, such as school, church, or a community group.)

Each entry must include a reference formatted according to American Psychological Association (7^th edition) style rules and an analysis as described below. You should be able to use the material that you develop here in your final project. Before you tackle this exercise, please make sure you have read the Week 4 course materials.

Required Research: You must use at least six authoritative sources in your final project, at least three of which must be scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles about communication research studies from the UMGC librarys databases.

For this assignment, you will document the research you must do on possible resolutions of your workplace* communication problem by writing an analytical annotated bibliography about three authoritative sources that you found in the UMGC library and plan to use in your project to support your thesis. Look for professional and scholarly business journal research and case studies on possible resolutions to yours or similar workplace communication problems. You can get leads to resources on your research topic right in your email by following the instructions at to receive RSS and email alerts when new newspaper, magazine, and scholarly journal articles are made available by the library.

To find appropriate resources, use the UMGC librarys portal to communication studies resources at . For help finding academic journal articles, see the UMGC librarys resource, Locate and Evaluate Scholarly Articles, at . Two online sources can be among your resources, but their credibility must be verified. See the librarys handout, ” for help.

Although you may review the < Encyclopedia of Communication Theory > in our classroom resources to select and come to understand the communication theory or theories that you want to use in your final project, dictionaries and encyclopedias cannot be included in your Analytical Annotated Bibliography or the references for your final project. A relevant YouTube video may be included as one of the internet sources, provided it has been evaluated for credibility.

Content: Review each resource for answers to as much of the following as possible:

• Describe each source’s author
• Analyze each resource’s purpose and audience
• Summarize each resource’s main arguments and conclusions
• Assess each resource’s information for relevance to the paper’s research question
• Evaluate each resource’s strengths, weaknesses and/or biases
• Explain how each resource’s information will be used in the final research paper

Format: The Analytical Annotated Bibliography must contain the following information:

1. Use an APA-style title page.
2. Repeat the title of your assignment at the top of Page 2.
3. Provide the name of the communication theory you are using in your final project.
4. Provide the thesis you are working with at this point in your projects development.
5. Create an APA-style reference citation for each resource.
6. Write a paragraph annotation of between 150-200 words (excluding APA-style reference) that answers at least the following questions:
   1. What is the resource about? Summarize its purpose, findings, argument, and/or conclusions.
   2. What is the resources greatest strength in relation to your project’s focus? Assess the resources strengths, weaknesses, or biases.
   3. What role will the resource play in your project? Evaluate the resources relevance to your project.
7. Repeat Nos. 5 and 6 above for each of your three sources.

You will find an example below of an APA-style analytical annotation from the UMGC Librarys How to Write an Annotated Bibliography at . While not possible to accomplish here, the reference and the annotation should be double-spaced in documents formatted in word processing software such as MS Word.

Breeding evil. (2005, August 6). Economist, 376(8438), 9. Retrieved from

This editorial from the Economist describes the controversy surrounding video games and the effect they have on people who use them. The article points out that most critics of gaming are people over 40 and it is an issue of age not of the games themselves. While the author briefly mentions studies done around the issue of violence and gaming, he does not go into enough depth for the reader to truly know the range of studies that have actually been done in this area, other than to take his word that the research is unsatisfactory. The author of this article stresses the age factor over violence as the real reason for opposition to video games and stresses the good gaming has done in most areas of human life. This article is a good resource for those wanting to begin to explore the controversy surrounding video games; however, for anyone doing serious research, one should actually examine some of the research studies that have been done in this area rather than simply take the author’s word that opposition to video games is simply due to an issue of generational divide.

Please pay attention to the last sentence of this annotation. It provides an example of a critique of an authors research.

Resources to support this activity:

The following resources should be consulted for guidance on how to analyze, write, and format the annotations and citations.

Alright, I confess: there’s really no such thing as a “skeleton draft.” I made that term up. But maybe it beats the other made-up term for the concept from a former student–brain vomit–that I was going to use for the truly useful designated task at hand:

1. Purge your mind of every little mote you know, think you know, want to know, know you don’t know, etc., about your topic.

   This won’t take all that long, and if you’re stuck between topics, do more than one; this may help you narrow it down. Empty your mind of what you already know, what you want to know, etc. about potential topics. If you’re debating multiple topics, maybe your classmates or I can help you if you post a bit about each.

   • Think about and answer the following questions for yourself:
     1. 1. What do you know?
        2. What do you think you know?
        3. How do you know what you know?
        4. What do you want to know?

2. Write it all down regardless of how it may sound: judgmental, backwards, wrong, right, accurate, correct, weird, useful, etc.

   You might find yourself a little startled by how judgmental you sound while thinking about a topic you haven’t put much thought toward in the past. Don’t waste time feeling bad; part of this assignment is for you to think through preconceived notions, what you’ve heard other people say, or potentially misplaced first impressions. Sometimes, though, you’ll end up cementing your initial impressions once you’ve taken the time to research and understand the subject. Either way, you’ll end up supporting your ideas in the essay itself.

3. This act should clear your mind of the matter, and then you’ll be able to see it all right there in front of you:

   pieces to manipulate, threads to follow, assumptions to dismiss / affirm, research to begin, facts to check, etc.

4. You can list it, bullet it, or write it out–no matter.

   Rather than regarding the process as busy work, make it a useful means of establishing the basis of a foundation for yourself.

5. There’s no need to polish this.

It’s simply a rough, rough beginning, a tool you’re building for yourself to establish a baseline for your ideas.

1. Return to this document throughout your research and writing process.

   Use it to assess your own evolution and as a resource for ideas as you build this assignment. Don’t just write it, submit it, and forget it; instead, use it

The skeleton draft is meant for you to empty your mind on topics you’re considering writing essay four about. BELOW THIS; IS MY ESSAY PROMT SO THE assignment above is what needs to be done. And hopefully we will match again to do my essay next.

What:

• Each and every person on this planet arguably has an idea of how to improve his immediate surroundings; you, as examples, might wish that the room you’re in was a different temperature, or you might wish that you didnt have to write the paper that this prompt introduces. Given that, I would also argue that each person on this planet has ideas concerning how to improve her household, town, country, or possibly even the world has a whole; as examples, you might have an excellent strategy to replant and maintain trees in urban societies, or you might believe that a global government would work better than our current system. So these ideas can exist on both the micro and the macro level.
• Essentially, then, what I am asking you to do for this assignment is to explore your image of an ideal you think would be beneficial to you and others around you. Choose something that is important to your life and times, a real issue / problem you can reach toward solving.
• Given that, there are many approaches you might take to writing this paper: you could present a problem and your solution for it (maybe you have some fantastic technological advances that will revolutionize bathrooms, trash removal, human relations, technology, hunger, a specific social issue, etc.); you could start from scratch and revamp the political system, the government, religion, your neighborhood, the education system, your household, etc.; you might explore what our society would be like if a historical event had not happened (911, the Vietnam War, a particular hurricane, etc.), or the contrary, that is, what the world would be like if other disasters continue to happen. To be clear, this bullet lists examples or possibilities, not limitations.
• The bottom line is that I want you to explore the ideas that are the most important and central to your life and how you might reconsider them.
• Get specific.
• Find and convince a specific audience to understand your perspective, and use pertinent research to support / make your claims.
• You are welcome to select the point of view / perspective (1st, second, etc.), but be consistent in its application.
• You are welcome to take this paper in any of a number of directions. The above-mentioned examples are only a few ideas that you might utilize when preparing your research and organizing your paper: ultimately, the final decision on what you do and how you do it is up to you. If you have an idea you are unsure about, please be sure to contact me before you begin any major effort therein.

Why:

• This assignment will serve as a continuation to effectively finding, evaluating, and incorporating outside sources into your writing.
• Please consider that while the topic you choose to write about and research certainly matters, we’re truly focusing on how you go about building and supporting your argument.
• Along the way, we will discuss the larger question, why bother using sources in my writing? In short, the academic world calls it information literacy: finding, evaluating, incorporating, and properly documenting research.
• You should become a bit of an expert on the idea you researchthat is, you should come to an understanding that is potentially outside of your own comfort zone. Pay attention to yourself as you write and research; you may, if you do this right, learn quite a bit about yourself (communications skills, reception to new ideas, etc.) and others around you.

How:

• You may organize this essay any way you see fitultimately, regarding organization, the final decision on what you do and how you do it is up to you barring the traditional five-paragraph essay approach.
• If you have an idea you are unsure about, please be sure to contact me before you begin any major effort therein.
• Don’t abandon the other kinds of writing we’ve been focusing on this semester; rather, use them in combination in this paper–use your voice.
• Balance your own ideas and outside sources/texts–if you’re looking for a ratio, ballpark 80% / 20%: 80% your ideas and voice / 20% cited material coherently integrated into your own 80%.

When:

1. You owe your rough draft to the appropriate forum by Thursday, April 16th, 11:55 pm.
2. You owe two of your peers feedback by Saturday, April 18th, 11:55 pm. If you simply tell one another how good their writing is and don’t illustrate that you’ve taken time and given thoughtful criticism, you will not receive credit for this–the most important–evaluation.
3. You owe your essay for grading by Saturday, April 25th, 11:55 pm. Submit your work as a single document in this order: cover sheet, essay, works cited, skeleton draft, interview notes, and self-evaluation.

Requirements:

• 5 pages for the final draft, and no, the cover page, skeleton draft, and work cited dont count toward page count.
• At this point in the semester, if you miss the page minimum, you will not earn higher than a D on this paper.
• 1 page minimum skeleton draft (writing what you already know before getting into any kind of research). Include itclearly labeledafter your works cited page in your final submission. There is a containing specific details.
• Incorporate an interview with a person / people who are meaningfully associated with your topic. You will conduct the interview yourselfbegin early; if you cant find an interviewee, you will be required to change topics. You may not interview family or friends for this requirement.
• You must provide contact information following the . Failure to observe this requirement will cost you a full letter grade.
• You must provide copies of your notes / interviews with the paper (or supply an audio file on the due date).
• You must incorporate a visual source specific to your topic. This might be a photo, an image, a graph, a chart, etc. Properly cite it:
• Use at least two other sources of your choice where necessary. Be certain to evaluate them (remember that Annotated Bibliography?! Apply those credibility evaluation skills!).
• Do not annotate your citations.
• Use proper MLA research and documentation skills, including a proper Work Cited page. Refer to the resources provided to you in Modules during the Annotated Bibliography unit of this course as references. Use the feedback in your Annotated Bibliography to fix previous mistakes.
• Complete and attach a self-evaluation form.
• Submit your work as a single document with a .doc or .docx file-type.

A Bit of Advice:

• Write to communicate a bigger picture. Remember: You’re not only writing about what you’re writing about; you’re also writing about what it means.
• Develop a strong thesis, and eventually use it (during revision) to unify and develop your essay with your audience fully in mind.

A Bit of Gloom and Doom:

• Failure to meet your peer review draft / feedback deadlines will cost you 25 points each from the course total.

• This assignment link will become unavailable shortly after the final copy due date and time–any papers past that point must be turned in but will not be accepted for a grade; there simply isn’t enough time for you to turn your work in late.

Generative AI: ChatGPT and Other Bots / Writing Tools / AI / Services:

• You must document any use of said resources, spellcheck/grammar checks included.
• You must not use generative AI for your assigned Writing.
