Annotated Note Taking

Annotated note taking is a very useful strategy for learning new concepts. Annotated note taking is a more active form of learning than simply reading and highlighting. It also adds a more personalized element to learning by allowing a person to monitor his or her comprehension. Annotated notes are also helpful for quick review at some later point in time.

The concepts and techniques you are learning in this course are fundamental building blocks upon which a solid career as an industrial/organizational (I/O) professional can be developed. For this assignment, you will write detailed notes that should help you cement these concepts during this initial learning stage and provide a very useful resource for you to draw upon throughout your program of study and beyond graduation too.

 

The eight concepts for your annotated note-taking assignment are:

 

• The scientific method
• A research question
• Hypothesis statements
• Validity
• Reliability
• Sample
• Qualitative research
• Quantitative research

Tasks:

• You are to write notes for each concept that explain its meaning, its use, and any other relevant information you believe to be fundamentally important to that concept. If you have any uncertainty related to a concept, you should include that in your notes. You are not allowed to use direct quotations for this assignment. You must paraphrase or, in other words, use your own words to describe and explain the concepts. This contributes to deeper learning and more meaningful notes for your later use.
• You are to define each concept and provide at least two important items of relevant information associated with each concept.
• Organize your notes by using each concept as a heading. Then, write a paragraph or two for each concept.

NEED a 3 page essay in APA format

Now that you have studied Walden’s policy on academic integrity and learned about different types of plagiarism, you will apply this knowledge when analyzing possible violations of academic integrity. This exercise will help you begin developing your skills of recognizing violations of academic integrity.

To prepare for this Assignment:

Think about Walden’s policy on academic integrity, and review the other resources from Week 1.

The Assignment:

Compose a two-paragraph essay in which you examine possible violations of Walden’s academic integrity policy. Study the two scenarios below, and explain in your own words whether violations of Walden’s policy occurred. Organize your paper by writing one paragraph for each scenario. You are not required to integrate sources in your paper. However, if you do use source material, please do your best to cite it properly, per APA style. You will work on developing your citation skills in the coming weeks.

• Student A was told by his instructor that half of his essay matched a paper previously submitted in a Walden course. Did the student violate Walden’s academic integrity policy?
• Student B used plagiarism-detection software called SafeAssign to check for accidental plagiarism. The student found a 30% match with source material. Did the student violate Walden’s academic integrity policy?

By Day 7

Submit your Assignment. Please use the Walden Course Paper template when formatting your paper. The template can be found in the Week 1 Resources. Assignments submitted without using the Course Paper template may not be accepted by your Instructor. Finally, make sure to use SafeAssign to screen your work before submitting it for Instructor review. A SafeAssign tutorial can be found in the Week 1 Resources.
