Evaluating Credible and Scholarly Scientific Sources Week Two Assignment In this assignment, you will examine three different sources - one source that would be considered scholarly, one source that is credible but not scholarly, and one source that would not be considered credible for use in an academic paper. After completing a worksheet on each source, can you identify which is which? Instructions When looking up various scientific topics, including the example topic this week on technology and food production in the U.S., you will find all kinds of information out there. Not all of it is reliable. In order to determine if a source provides credible information, you will need to take the time to evaluate that source first before you can trust its content. Who is the intended audience of the source? Who is the author or publisher and what is their purpose for publishing the resource? These are examples of the questions you will want to ask yourself when evaluating a source. Examine these three sources and fill out the following worksheet for each one. You will be determining what type of source it is (scholarly, credible non-scholarly, and non-credible), its level of credibility, and its possible value or use within the scientific conversation about technology and agriculture in the U.S. To help you determine the credibility of a source, refer this quick video tutorial on Evaluating Sources for Credibility. Additionally, consult the strategies outlined in the CRAAP TEST . Keep in mind that you are evaluating the sources themselves and not the content within the source, or whether you agree with the positions or statements that are expressed within the source. Please write your answers in complete sentences. Source Links Source #1: http://www.saynotogmos.org/ Source #2: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0064879 Source #3: https://www.loc.gov/law/help/restrictions-on-gmos/usa.php Source #1 1. What best describes the information within this source (choose all that apply): Formal report of a study or academic analysis of an issue Fact sheet / data / statistics News Government or organizational website Opinion piece: expert? Journalist? amateur? Anecdote / personal experience Propaganda What led you to choose this answer? Provide evidence or examples from the text. 2. Currency: For this topic, is the information… Up to date Outdated Not sure (explain): 3. The purpose of the information is to: Inform Persuade Entertain Sell Other: What led you to choose this answer? Provide evidence or examples from the text. 4. Does the author provide reliable evidence to back up his or her assertions? How do you know? (Tip: Look for references within the text or presented as a list. Ask yourself if the references are formally formatted and if they add weight and credibility to the discussion.) .

Assignment Objective Learn about your topic; analyze and synthesi.docx

Assignment Objective: Learn about your topic; analyze and synthesize possible sources Goal: Gather credible source information to support argument Textbook Reading: p. 388-400 Student Example: Annotated Bib Student Example (includes one example entry; you must include 5) Template Document: Annotated Bib Template Scholarly sources are required for this assignment. You will NOT earn points for popular sources. The annotated bibliography is an important step in the research process, as analyzing and synthesizing each possible source assists you in knowing if the source will properly support your thesis statement. This assignment is the most time consuming assignment in the course. You will have to read, analyze, document, and record each source you plan to use to support the argument in your essay. Get to work on this assignment early and leave yourself some extra time to review it before submitting to the dropbox. Past students have noted that this is the most challenging, but most rewarding, assignment of the term. A bibliography is a list of sources one has used for researching a topic. Bibliographies are sometimes called "references" or "works cited" depending on the style format you are using. A bibliography usually just includes the bibliographic information (i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.). An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation. Therefore, an annotated bibliography includes the citation, a summary, and an evaluation of each of source. For purposes of developing research skills in this class, we are going to take it one step further and detail what information can be used to support the argument and counterargument for the research paper. This is NOT the traditional formatting of an annotated bibliography. Please closely follow the template for completion of the annotated bibliography. Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research. Writing an annotated bibliography can help you gain a good perspective on what is being said about your topic. While you are researching, evaluation of your sources is essential. You cannot expect to use the first few sources you come across. Once you find an acceptable source, create an entry for the annotated bibliography using the criteria guide below. Criteria I. CITATION: APA formatted reference citation II. SUMMARY:In one sentence, summarize the article topic and findings. III. EVALUATION: What interesting information/data (2-3) will help you support your argument? Follow with your analysis of that information. Parenthetical citations required. To get started, click on the student example and template document linked above. Notes: FIVE (5) scholarly sourcesrequired, with 2-3 pieces of information gathered from each source. Include the thesis statement in bold letter at the top of the assignment. If you are hav ...

Discussion 2Linda Explain at least five differences betwee.docx

theresiarede

Discussion 2 Linda Explain at least five differences between popular and scholarly sources used in research. Five differences between popular and scholarly sources are: Popular sources use common vocabulary versus scholarly uses technical language specific to the field of study (Cendegas, 2015). Popular sources contain advertisements, whereas scholarly contains charts or graphs to present data (Cendegas, 2015). Scholarly sources contain bibliography and reference list and popular sources do not (Cendegas, 2015). Scholarly sources are peer reviewed to ensure reliability of the information of people in the same field of study, whereas popular are only reviewed by editors for general interest or entertainment (Cendegas, 2015). Scholarly journal articles are published in a standard format of containing: Abstract, Introduction, Methods & Materials, Results, Discussion and References (Cendegas, 2015). Locate and summarize one peer-reviewed, scholarly source from the Ashford University Library and one popular source that pertain to your Final Paper topic. In your summary of each article, comment on the following: biases, reliability, strengths, and limitations. A scholarly peer-reviewed source from the Ashford University Library is from Timothy Wunder on the largest age demographic who lives in poverty are children (2019). This source provide statistical data on the percentage of household in each income bracket are able to afford children and percentage of those living in poverty, which makes the information credible. A popular source is from Newsweek article written by Asher Stocker in 2019 about a report released by the Congressional Budget office on effects of increasing minimum wage to bring people out of poverty. As a lot of great statistical data is published in the article it is bias towards supporting the candidates in the democratic party. Not to mentioned, the information could be taken out of context and the amount of advertisements caused a distraction. From the sources you summarized, list and explain at least five visual cues from the peer-reviewed, scholarly source that were not evident in the popular source. Five visual cues from the peer-review scholarly source that were not evident in the popular source: All the data tables the source was provided with the table and within the references section of the article. It followed the standard section formats like abstract, introduction, ect. It contains a reference list. Uses language that is specific to economics study Contain no advertainments like the popular source did. References Cendejas, M. (2015).

Composition I / HCC Southshore Raymond M. Vince, PhD F19 Ed. A22 P3-ARG+AB for Comp I Writing an Argument Paper + an Annotated Bibliography 1. Format & Expectations See The Norton Sampler, Chapter 13, on Argument.  See Schedule for all due dates. There will be a 100 word Draft – with copies for me and your Peer Group. See the Calendar for due date.  P3 when handed in must be at least 2,500 words (+/- 10%), typed, & double-spaced, including the Ann. Bib. It can go up to 2,850 words with no problem.  P3 must have an Annotated Bibliography with at least six (6) sources. See below for details. It must be in MLA format. This Annotated Bibliography will replace the usual Works Cited List. See A19.  P3 must have the total word count (Paper + Ann Bib) at the end (see bottom left in MS Word).  This P3-Argument Paper with Annotated Bibliography is worth 12.00% of your final grade. 2. Objectives & Intended Outcomes  Choose a good subject that you are interested in, that is debatable, controversial, and for which you can find good credible sources. Take a position and make a strong argument for your position, supported by really strong sources. See my list of Suggested Topics on pages 3-4 below. Your P3-ARG topic must be in a totally different area from your P2-C/E essay.  Make sure that you integrate your research (books, scholarly articles, & other sources) with your own ideas, judgments, and evaluations. I need to hear your voice, your argument, supported by your sources and research. This is the most difficult part of good academic writing – spend time on getting this right.  A research paper is neither (1) your own ideas unsupported by scholarly research, nor (2) a list of other people’s views & quotations. Between those extremes, I expect your argument supported by the sources that you have chosen. Use both sources that support your argument, and sources that count against your argument.  Work hard to base the paper on adequate library material (articles & books) and make sure that you write it in non-technical language. Jargon which you find, for example, in your scholarly journal articles, need to be carefully defined and explained where necessary. Write for a student like yourself: he or she is your ideal audience. Writers always write for a particular audience.  You should use standard scholarly practice for documentation and citation – see Research & Sources below – making sure your quotations and citations, and the format of your paper and annotated bibliography, follow MLA rules. In particular, you must avoid plagiarism.

Read especially A20 Developing an Argument. Also the following: A12, A13, A15, A19, & A21 Comp I / A22: Writing P3 Argument +Ann Bib / F19 Ed. 2 3. Minimum of ...

Class, the instructions for these Controversy assignments almost alw.docx

drennanmicah

Class, the instructions for these Controversy assignments almost always ask for multiple references. Please be sure you go beyond one or two references in completing these assignments. For example, this week's instructions give you two references, but adds "along with resources from your own research...," meaning you should have at least three. Be sure you're doing enough research to earn full credit. Also, I recommend reprinting the questions from the assignment onto your paper at the beginning of your answers, so that you can refer to them while you're typing, and so you'll be sure you're answering the questions asked. This week's environmental controversy focuses on the question: should Immigration into the US be reduced? Review the background information. Then, using the References along with resources from your own research, write a 2 page response to the questions that follow. Remember to cite your sources using proper APA format. Background Information Legal and illegal immigration into the United States is discussed in your textbook. Advocates of liberal immigration argue that both legal and illegal immigrants are needed to perform difficult and low paying jobs that most citizens won't take. Advocates also sympathize with immigrants because many of them are fleeing poverty and tyranny in their homelands. Immigrants pay taxes, help to support the US social security system, and contribute to American society. Opponents of immigration include individuals that want to ban or significantly reduce all immigration, and those that simply want more stringent efforts to end illegal immigration. Opponents argue that current immigration policies and border patrol methods are too lenient and allow terrorists to infiltrate into the US. References Two short articles identified below have very different views on the impacts of illegal immigration on state economies. Use these references along with resources from your own research to help answer the questions that follow. Seper, J. (n.d.). Illegal aliens cost California billions. Washington Times, The (DC) , Retrieved April 14, 2009, from EBSCO MegaFILE database. Link to article Hoyt, J. (2004, May 10). Why business should speak out on immigrant workers. Crain's Chicago Business , 27 (19), 11-11. Retrieved April 14, 2009, from Regional Business News database. Link to article Questions How do the views presented in the articles differ? How does illegal immigration both hurt and help state economies? Do you feel that the author's of these two articles are ignoring each others side, or is it possible that the Illinois economy is simply better equipped to absorb illegal immigration? Before answering this final question make sure to consider the affiliations of the authors. This paper should be 2 pages of complete content (cover page and reference page are separate) and have in-text citations. The paper will be in APA style (both in formatting the paper and reference page). One scholar.
