An annotated bibliography is a useful way to start a research project because it asks you to collect and summarize sources that you might use later in a research paper. Collecting and summarizing sources early in the research process helps you narrow your research topic. The bibliography can also help you evaluate the possible usefulness of source material for later use in a paper. This handout is designed to show you how to create an annotated bibliography. Specifically, it will guide you through the process of creating an annotated bibliography by 1) describing in general terms the meaning of the words “annotated bibliography,” 2) explaining in general terms how to write an annotated bibliography, and 3) offering an example of what an annotated bibliography could look like. However, it is important to note that individual instructors may have different requirements for their annotated bibliography assignments. Please check with your teacher or assignment sheet BEFORE following the advice in this handout. What is an Annotated Bibliography?

...Chapter 1: First Steps Using your Learning Style Profile to Succeed This article exemplifies the importance of the four modes of learning and how it enables me to achieve better academic standards for the approaching years at Ryerson. The four modes can be used while choosing courses and majors by comparing and matching courses to modes. If you prefer mode four like I do, courses that can be applied to many situations in your daily life are suitable for you. However, you cannot always match a course to your learning style and therefore must be able to develop skills to become more open in all four modes. Using the learning styles enables you to also explore career paths one may wish to take. Again, one does not have to match a certain learning style to a career path because it is important to have a range of diverse learning styles when entering a workplace. One must learn to adapt to different styles since it benefits not only your education, but improves your skills with other people. As a result of reading this article, I intend to improve and accept changes in my modes of learning. I will take this opportunity to look deeper into all four categories and create new options in my ways of learning. The Master Student This article defines what mastery is and how one can achieve mastery through different skills and techniques. The definition of mastery means achieving a level of skill that goes beyond technique. Mastery is seen everywhere. While playing soccer, mastery...

...WRITING A SUMMARY-RESPONSE ESSAY In academic contexts, you are often asked to write response essays (sometimes called reaction papers) in which you select an aspect of a text that particularly interests you and respond to it in writing. That is, you will be asked to read something (a journal article, a chapter in a book, a technical report) and to write a summary and an analysis of what you read. The purpose of this type of assignment is to find out whether you understood what you read, what your response to the content of the text is, and whether you can express your response clearly. Generally, a response to written material consists of two basic parts: A. a summary of the written material B. an analysis of part of all of the material. Here is the typical format of a response essay: Introduction (The First Paragraph of your essay) 1. State the author’s name and surname 2. State the name of the article (For example: In “The Dangers of the Television” ) 3. Summarize the article and state the author’s main issues/thesis and key supporting points that the author discusses. Use an opening phrase such as: says, discusses, explains, argues, shows. (For example: In “The Dangers of the Television”, Fidler points out that. . .) 4. State your main idea / thesis in which you show your agreement or disagreement at the end of the introduction paragraph. That is your reaction. Body (The second paragraph) Your body paragraph or paragraphs should include: 1. major key supporting points...

...an enormous problem so why isn’t more action being taken on it. I think it is because a lot of today’s hazing goes unreported either the school which it took place at is to embarrassed of the incident, or the student him/herself are to embarrassed to share the knowledge with others. In an article from CQ researcher by Brian Hansen he asks the question Should More Be Done to Stop It? I believe Hansen focuses on the article from a medical standpoint although he does not state that hazing is on the rise he does say that deaths caused from hazing are now higher then ever. He gives examples as to why the trend may be on the rise so much, the contemporary media endorses such acts that de grate people on shows like “Fear Factor” or movies like “Jackass.” Students see these acts and they may think that they are “ok” to perform because they were viewed by a national audience. Hansen also says that many deaths occur because students arrive with the “disneyland ride notion” where it may seem scary but the operators know what they are doing and everything will be ok, when in reality many of the hazers choose heinous acts at random that have never been performed before. Hansen’s medical argument is a strong case and he seems to argue against other researchers that believe approaching the issue from a psychological standpoint is the way to go. Assistant Executive director Ted Feinberg, of the National Association of School Psychologists responds to the Should More Be Done to Stop It...

The discussion is rich in references to many of our current topics and touches on some that we will cover in more depth later. These include diversity, cultural influences on behavior, and managing across cultures, and specifically touch on performance management and motivation. - How do the new practices at Sodexho align with the essentials of performance management? - How is Sodexho using social networking to its advantage? Response: Let start from what Sodexo's Global Chief Diversity Officer Rohini Anand said. "there is now more of an expectation for managers to give clear and regular feedback, so there is no room to misinterpret why an employee did not get a promotion or raise. "[Employees] should not be mystified. They should be given feedback. They should be told what they need to do, because when that's not given, I think it creates a disconnect," she says. Consider performance management as regular practice that was incorporated in Sodexo makes clear that no mystery would remain for an employee who did not get promotion. Performance evaluation, appraisals, 360 degree evaluations and many other evaluation methods should be incorporated to make employee performance and value contribution performance is different, so each employee would have clear understanding...

...your own work, or your professional needs. Your topic can be aroused from a sense of curiosity, hunch and interest over a particular perceived problem that you feel needed to be filled in the gap of knowledge. 2. Understand the difference between primary and secondary research. a. Primary research means doing original research, meaning that this knowledge doesn't appear in any other paper. You might be reading through original treaties, newspaper articles, or authentic letters from authors or statesmen. You might be conducting scientific, medical or engineering experiments. b. Secondary research, the focus of this wikiHow article, means reading other experts' published papers to learn something new about your topic, to survey what others have said and written about it, to reach a conclusion about your ideas on the topic. 3. Determine your scope and time line. Any academic research should lead to a written report ("research paper") which may be a class assignment, a work task, or even a published article. Determine in advance how much total time you have for this work, and make a rough work schedule. c. A work schedule must include the following major steps: 1. Finding and reading sources. 2.

...accounting faculty in doctoral programs as a starting point in mentoring their doctoral students. We begin with foundational guidance to help doctoral students better understand the “big picture” surrounding the academic accounting environment. We then provide specific research guidance and publishing guidance to help improve the probability of publication success. Actions are suggested that doctoral students and new faculty can take to help jump-start their academic careers. We finish with guidance regarding some important acronyms of special interest to doctoral students in accounting. Keywords: career guidance; doctoral students; research; publishing. INTRODUCTION igher education faces a severe, and growing, shortage of accounting professors. As a result, the job prospects for new accounting doctoral graduates are very good and are getting better. Starting salaries are increasing, but so are the requirements for tenure and promotion. In particular, the requirements to produce more and better research are growing in most schools. An ad hoc committee of the American Accounting Association ͑AAA͒ was formed approximately five years ago to assess the shortage of accounting faculty and make recommendations to help address this important issue ͑Plumlee et al. 2006͒. The committee conducted...

...Are Social Networking Sites Good for Our Society? 6/1/2012 | Are Social Networking sites good for our society? Abstract This analysis examines how people today use social networking for more than just staying in touch with friends and family. The data that was collected for this report was through multiple methods, such as surveys, online reading, and personal interviews. The data in this report represents how people start out using social networks just to keep in touch with friends and family only to realize that there are others out there that are using it for something more. Through research I have found that what starts out as something so innocent for most of us there are those out there that use it for personal gain and illegal activities. Introduction: What influences a person’s desires to start using social networking sites? Since the beginning people have believed that social networking was the best way to stay in touch with those you care about. While that may be true for most people it has become increasing obvious that it is not that way for some others. Nowadays people think that it’s okay to share what you are doing on a minute, hourly, or even a daily basis. Depending on who your “friends” are that can be just fine, but what happens when you share too much and with the wrong people? Are your “friends” the only one that can see what you’re sharing? How much of your personal information is available through these sites? Social networking...

...Lou, Sijia Professor Manly ENG 108 Feb, 26, 2011 Summary 1: Article In the article “What Are Friends For? Power and Pain” which was written be Alessandra Stanley, we can know that the author thinks in adults’ world friendship is more constant than romances, but this rule is not right in the youths. Young people pay more attention to love than friendships, so in young’s world the friendships are more variable than the romances. This concept is also right in the “Gossip Girl”. This TV show talked about the friendship, power, romance, gossip and fashion in the campus between the boys and girls. Some parents think this TV show isn’t suitable for their children, because the contents in “Gossip Girl” let their children grow faster to know the real society. But the Children didn’t agree. Even though the “Gossip Girl” is a soap opera and it is based on a popular book series, it not only put fashion and sex as its main point, but also reversed course and found a way saucily to make a virtue of vacuity and viciousness. Summary 2: TV show This TV show is from Gossip Girl season 4 Episode 2. Serena(S) and Blair (B) still stay at Paris and B get another chance from Prince Louis. But while B was getting ready for her perfect date, S was at Paris Morgue to make sure the people laid may or may not be Chuck Bass. Of course it wasn’t him. When S went back to tell B the whole sordid story B didn’t believe it for she just met Chuck minutes ago. Then S found her wayward stepbrother...
