Assignment: Research Study: An Annotated Bibliography
Although you are just beginning your doctoral journey, you should begin giving thought to your research topic. As you are continuing to learn, scholarly research and writing are critical skills required for completing the DBA program, including your Doctoral Study. One aspect of scholarly research is developing a systematic way of collecting your articles and using them for current and future work. Creating an annotated bibliography is the method for developing and storing invaluable research information. Your initial steps to create an annotated bibliography provide you with opportunities to collect scholarly, peer-reviewed research material from articles, journals, reports, and seminal books that can help you to lay the foundation for the completion of your Doctoral Study. Mastering the systematic building of your annotated bibliography early will save you time as you progress toward the completion of your Doctoral Study.

To prepare for this Assignment, select three peer-reviewed scholarly articles, with each article addressing a topic of your interest for research.

For more information and an example of an annotated bibliography, refer to the Walden Writing Centers annotated bibliography resource in this weeks Learning Resources.

By Day 7
Submit an annotated bibliography for the three peer-reviewed resources you selected. In your annotated bibliography, include the following:

A full APA-style bibliographic reference for each resource that includes the author, date, title, place of publication, and publisher
A summary of the document (23 paragraphs for each entry), including the main points, its purpose, the theoretical perspective on which it is based, and the scope
For each article, evaluate the following:
Reliability (research methods used, theories used, and data on which it is based)
Appropriateness for the intended audience
Background and authority of the author
Limitations of the research (which can depend on the scope, reliability, age of the document, and bias)
Significance of the research
Note: Be sure to use the Sample Annotated Bibliography template to complete this Assignment. Also, refer to the Week 5 Assignment Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess your work.

Reflection: Climate Change

/in /by

In this reflection, you are preparing a scientifically informed response to someone who expresses a question, or incorrect assumption regarding climate change.  You will identify the situation and audience, then write a narrative that informs your audience. 

Begin with a section title Situation and Audience, followed by a brief description.   Examples:

Situation and Audience: While at dinner, Uncle Joe remarks that the question of climate change is just a political one.

Situation and Audience: Hometown librarian requests a mini talk at the library on climate change.

Be creative, yet try to make this reflection something you could try out in the future.

After identifying the situation and audience, your reflection should include at least three (3) scientifically based points that explain the reason for, or nature of climate change. Write about each in a separate paragraph that includes a clear topic sentence that identifies your point. Follow each topic sentence with several sentences of supporting or explanatory text or graphics.  You should include evidence gained from our text and the links provided in the guided notetaking:  this reflection is not intended as a research project.  You are welcome, however to include additional resources. 

In a fourth paragraph, identify one effect of climate change that you believe might be most important to your audience, followed by supporting or explanatory text.

Finally, while no one person can solve the problem of climate change, suggest what you personally plan to do or think others might do in relation to the problem.  It is ok if you think the action is exceedingly small.  It is a first step.

Include references where appropriate.  Cut and paste of links is acceptable for website citations.  You may cite our course text as Environmental Chemistry (4th edition) by VanLoon and Duffy. 

There is no specific length requirement for the reflection; however, my estimate is it will take 500-1,000 words to do a good job.  VIEW THE RUBRIC before you begin so that you understand how points will be awarded.
