1. REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:

Anderson, Tammy L. (ed.). 2014. Understanding Deviance: Connecting Classical and Contemporary Perspectives. New York: Routledge

FORMAT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY:

1. The 7th edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) Style

2a. Be sure to provide the complete bibliographic citation in the 7th edition APA format, including the DOI information where appropriate. Many of you have not paid attention to my comments in your assignments throughout the semester and therefore have not mastered the APA format for in-text citations or references. It is my sincere hope that you pay attention to this information now because annotated bibliographies not completed in this format will not receive a successful score.

b. For each entry (total of 10), include a 2-3 paragraph summary of the entrys main points and/or your overall evaluation of the entry. The summary should be in your own words and not simply copied from the entry or some other source; each citation summary should be written in complete sentences.

c. ALL bibliographic entries should be from scholarly journals or book chapters (either online or hard copy) and must be written following the 7th edition APA format. Two of the 10 entries may be taken from your textbook (one reading each from Sections 11 and 12 ONLY). NO WIKIPEDIA references at all. It is recommended that you consult electronic resources such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Google Books for the remaining eight entries. If an article is behind a pay site, you may still use it without reading the entire complete source. Be sure to include the complete bibliographic citation and use the available abstract for your annotation. Do not copy the Abstract word-for-word: Paraphrase it and put it in your own words.

d. It will be easiest for you to research and choose your entries via electronic searches, but you may also search hard copy sources in a library. I do not need nor want hard copy articles of your sources, but you must supply complete bibliographic citations per a and b above.

e. The 10 entries should generally cover specific theories/types of deviance (i.e., the general subject area of the course). You should not turn in 10 citations on a single theory or type of deviance; with flexibility, you can draw from a variety of behaviors/theories. There may be some repetition of content in your choices of sources to annotate, but the purpose is to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information in the process of answering the weekly discussion questions. It is recommended that you search for articles while reading each chapter week-by-week and choose references that will add to your knowledge of the theories and aid in answering the discussion questions.

f. The entries should be organized as a list alphabetized by the authors last name per APA Style. The title should read ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOR. This annotated bibliography should be typed (double-spaced, one-inch margins all around) and submitted to me via Canvas no later than Monday, APRIL 27 by 11:59 p.m. (i.e., at midnight on Monday, April 27, 2026).

g. The Annotated Bibliography should be an original composition, not recycled from another class. Additionally, chapters from the textbook should NOT be used as references in the bibliography. If you have any questions, PLEASE CONTACT ME.

h. Any sources you include must be credible academic, scholarly references. Wikipedia and course hero are unacceptable and prohibited.

3. The announcement section has additional information regarding the annotated bibliography as well as sample annotated bibliographies.

This study is regarding inquiry-based learning in science education.

submission is on the 30th of this month would appreciate if you could finish before in case of anything and please beware of time zones.

please don’t hesitate to ask any questions if any.

Instructions:

Using your knowledge of the individual aspects of organizational behavior and leadership we have gathered in Chapters 1 through 17, develop a research project that you could theoretically execute. Think about your own working life or issues you have read about in the workplace. What is an important question that needs to be answered? What is a problem you have seen that research might be able to fix?

Specifically, prepare a research outline as prescribed in this Research Outline Template. You should use this template as just that, a template. The location for your title, the headings for each section are provided, and detailed instructions/examples are provided. Your submission should be 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins. This guidance is in addition to specific formatting guidance related to the Annotated Bibliography. Please submit as either a Word document or PDF. Use appropriate professional grammar, sentence structure, spelling, organization, and so on. In general, the outline will be assessed based on the organization of ideas and information, coverage of the selected topic, inclusion of key sources, and content. See rubric for additional details.

The above should be deleted and your research outline will start at the title below.

Title of Research

Topic: Provide the topic your research will cover (Example: Personality, Integrity, Leading with Emotion, Leading Teams, Conflict, Motivation, etc.). This is likely a specific topic we covered in the textbook.

Research Question: Provide the question that your research would answer. Research questions should be concise, on the point, and inform the reader what to expect throughout your work. (1 question)

Introduction: Introduce your research by outlining the history of research in this topic area and where it should be headed. What problem are you trying to fix? Why is this a problem? What is the background of the problem or research topic? What has been said about the topic before? Where do researchers think the research should be investigating? (Between and 1 page, all page lengths based on formatting standard)

So What: Explain why this research would matter for either educational purposes, to help inform practice in organizations, or both. Why should the reader care? Why is this important to investigate? (Maximum page)

Thesis Statement: Answer your research question based on the articles you reviewed for this project. What would you expect to find if you performed this research? (2-3 sentences)

Annotated Bibliography: The expectation is to review and provide an annotated bibliography for 3 scholarly articles. These annotations will be both descriptive and evaluative. Meaning, you will first summarize the arguments and findings of the article. Then, you will examine the consider the logic of authors’ arguments and the quality of their evidence. Finally, you will explain why the source is relevant to your research.

What is a scholarly article? It is a peer reviewed journal article. It is usually a 4000-8000 word article published in an academic journal. Journal articles are considered the best sources for essays because they:

• Have been blind peer reviewed. This means that two experts who dont know the author read the article and critiqued it;
• Have been written by an expert;
• Are generally written by the person who conducted the original research. This means its information straight from the original source.

So, how do you find scholarly articles? The textbook provides references in the endnotes of each chapter. Often, these references will provide you with scholarly articles to track down. Google Scholar also provides an avenue for finding scholarly articles. This source allows you to look up articles based on the topic you choose. By examining the amount of times the article has been cited, you can get a sense of how important the article is to your topic. You can also investigate the journal the article was published in by searching for it on the Australian Business Deans Council journal list (). A journal on this list has been vetted and deemed scholarly. One shortcoming of using Google Scholar is that you might not find access to the article there. In this scenario, you would need to go to the USM library website and search for the article (). If there are further questions on this topic, please reach out.

Per APA standards, the annotated bibliography should follow this format:

• The text and the reference list should be double-spaced.
• Numbering starts on the title page, at the top right of the page.
• Reference list entries must have a hanging indent (to do this in Microsoft Word 2003, click Format, then Paragraph, then Special, and choose Hanging).
• There should be 1 inch (2.54 cm) margins all around (top, bottom, left, and right) on each page.
• Use Times Roman font, or a similar serif font.
• Each paragraph should be indented.
