Instructions
Please be sure to include the exact Key Concept you selected in your Discussion subject line.
After you have successfully picked the concept that interests you the most,
esearch at least five (5) recent scholarly articles that relate to the concept on which you wish to focus your research. Articles may be found in reputable professional and scholarly journals that deal with the content of our course. Popular general reading magazines and online sources such as Wikipedia are not permissible.
I highly recommend you use the Liberty University Li
ary resources. Li
arians are available to assist you in all matters pertaining to conducting your research, including what constitutes a scholarly article.
You must adhere precisely to the following headings and format:
1.Key Concept and Why You Are Interested In It
After reading the textbook, specifically state why you are interested in conducting further research on this topic, i.e., academic curiosity, application to a cu
ent issue related to employment, or any other professional rationale. Please be sure to include a substantive reason, not simply a phrase.
2.Explanation of The Key Concept
This is a clear and concise overview of the essentials relevant to understanding this key concept.
3.Major Article Summary
Using your own words, provide a clear and concise summary of the article, including the major points and conclusions.
Discussion (In your own words, discuss each of the following points)
1. How the cited work relates to your above explanation AND how it relates specifically to the content of this module. This part of your Discussion provides evidence that you have extended your understanding of this topic beyond the textbook readings.
2. How the cited work relates to the other 4 works you researched. This part of your Discussion provides evidence that you have refined your research topic to a coherent and specialized aspect of the topic, rather than a random selection of works on the topic. The idea here is to prove you have focused your research and that all works cited are related in some manner to each other – rather than simply a collection of the first 5 results from your Internet search.
4.Annotated References
A minimum of 5 scholarly business references (not textbooks, Wikipedia, or other popular reading magazines), in APA format (APA cu
ent edition), and must contain persistent links so others may have instant access. In the event formatting is lost or co
upted when posting the Discussion, be sure to attach the Word document to your posting, as evidence your work was completed in the proper format.
The annotations are designed to help your classmates in their understanding of the topic.
· An annotated bibliography is a list of the journals and resources you used.
· Each citation is followed by a
ief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and an evaluative paragraph, “the” annotation.
· An annotation should:
· Be approximately 150 words and is more than just several sentences summarizing the source
eference.
· Present why the author is qualified to speak on the stated subject.
· Summarize the source
eference.
· Explain to the reader why the reference is important to the project management profession.
· Communicate to the reader how the reference relates to the subject being discussed.
· The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Please do not simply cut and paste from your sources, as this constitutes plagiarism. I have found that most of the time this occurs as an innocent oversight on the part of the student. Regardless of the reason, in the event of plagiarism, the student will receive zero points for the entire Module (this includes Discussion, Discussion responses, and participation).
Please note that points will be awarded in each aspect of the assignment if the assignment meets or exceeds graduate-level content and writing standards.
