...Directions for Annotated Bibliography You will provide an annotated bibliography of 25 references that you plan to use for your research paper. This must be in APA format, with a cover page and references that each includes a summary, analysis and reflection. This assignment is due by 12 midnight (EST) on the Sunday of Week 3. Why do an annotated bibliography? The Writing Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an excellent response: A good annotated bibliography: • encourages you to think critically about the content of the works you are using, their place within a field of study, and their relation to your own research and ideas. • proves you have read and understand your sources. • establishes your work as a valid source and you as a competent researcher. An annotated bibliography is a list of sources and includes APA formatted references to the articles, books and resources (all which should have been found through the Liberty University Online Library) which one has compiled for a research assignment. Following each reference is a brief description and an evaluation of the source. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to benefit the researcher and provide the content, relevance and quality of the sources. Do NOT simply cut and past the abstract as the annotation, as they are not the same. Abstracts are summaries of a source, whereas annotations also include a short summary. Abstracts include a critical...

The purpose of writing a short prospectus is to help you get a sense of your project and hopefully gain a starting point for your work. How to proceed? Start by reading and taking notes on 2-4 reference articles, review articles, or key research articles. You will most likely be using a search engine or online database. This initial phase is meant to familiarize yourself with America in the 1920s. As you read more and more, you will hopefully find a particular subject or topic that you think is worth writing about. Again, this is not only a research paper, but it is a synthesis work in which you must take elements from the time period and connect them to the novel. Key Questions for Statement of Thesis * What two motifs will you concentrate on? * How does these motifs connect with an element from the 1920s? * What articles and research best represent this connection? * What examples from the novel best represent this connection? Literature Review and Annotated Bibliography Provide a summary and critique of the sources you researched. Where did you find them? Who wrote them? Who published them?

Picture exchange communication system and pals: a peer- mediated augmentative and alternative communication intervention for minimally verbal preschoolers with autism. Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, 1-13. doi:10.1044/2016_jslhr-l-15-0313 This article questions whether the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is an effective communication intervention alternative for preschoolers who are minimally verbal. Four children with severe autism and seven children without disabilities were assessed over five to seven sessions where one child with autism was paired with one child without disability. During 10-15 minutes of playing a 6-minute interval was coded and the total frequency of communication was recorded. This process was repeated again after the children without disability were taught how to use PECS. For the study, a PECS binder was placed in front of the pair of children and examiners then noted changes in the children with disabilities’ rates of communication per 6-minute interval. Study results concluded that there was evidence that peers of non-verbal children with autism...

...Civil War Research Paper This unit can be broken down into three different areas: the causes of the Civil War, the atrocity of the Civil War, and America’s Reconstruction after the war. With each unit there are a multitude of things that have had a significant impact on our development as a country since this period. With that in mind, you will be expected to research a topic of your choosing and write an in-depth research paper on it. My rationale for this assignment is two-fold. One, we are towards the end of the semester and I feel it is important to push your limits and force you to continue to work hard. Two, you will be in high school next year. This is a type of assignment you could and most likely will have in the near future. It is something you must work on in order to perfect it.

This article gears toward also provides a critical analysis of research Studies in this area by evaluating each study in detail, identifying gaps in the research base, and providing directions for future study. For the most part, all of the studies reviewed in this article Found CBT to be effective. However, CBT modalities with minimal therapist direction or interaction were found to be problematic. In addition, there may be other noninvasive treatment. There are different types that are equally or more effective, such as biofeedback or supportive psychotherapy. Although, CBT appears to be a promising treatment type for female sexual pain disorders, more research needs to be done. Results obtained from the Kuileet al. (2007) study could be expanded to explore the roles that fear reduction and increases in sexual behavior play in reducing plain. In addition, more randomized longitudinal studies need to be performed to determine if the initial effectiveness of CBT will last. Also, studies that compare individual to group modality also need to be conducted to address this gap in the...

Journal of College Student Development, 41(4), 405-414. A diverse group of female students at a university was interviewed in examining multiple dimensions of identity to fill a gap in studying development which has only considered a single dimension of identity. The conceptual model proposed for complex identity differentiates the core representing the inner self, how an individual perceives themselves, with the outside identity that is defined by others. Each factual dimension surrounds the core as intersecting rings, asserting the importance of considering multiple dimensions mutually and holistically. The contextual influences are significant to continually relocate the dots on the rings, which...

...Battle-Bailey, L. (2003). Training teachers to design interactive homework. ERIC Digest, 1-8. The purpose of the research was to make teachers more aware of what interactive homework is and how to implement it. Workshops provided teachers with skills needed to put interactive homework in place. Some of the skills included encouraging teachers to create high level questions on the homework, provide clear homework directions and teach students the importance of inferencing. The research briefly mentioned the correlation of parental support and teacher support with how they can improve student success. Because of teacher training, parents can create more meaningful relationships through interactive homework by engaging in conversations, modeling interest in the subject matter and cooperating through problem solving. Without one of the supports, student GPAs declined when compared to students who had in-school and at-home support. The research design was of qualitative nature and was very brief. This resource is meaningful to my research as it provides a brief overview of a communication strategy that I can present during a Focus...
