The document discusses what an annotated bibliography is and how to write one. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for sources on a topic that includes a descriptive and evaluative paragraph for each citation. The annotation summarizes the source and the reader's response. To write an annotation, critically read the source by asking questions about its purpose, content and conclusions. Then write a summary paragraph of the source's main points and a response paragraph evaluating the source and its relevance to the topic.

Annotated Biblography Presentation
An annotated bibliography includes bibliographic citations of sources used for research on a topic along with a brief summary and evaluation of each source. The purpose is to help the writer better understand the topic by carefully reading each source and to learn how to find useful sources. The annotated bibliography assignment guidelines specify including four sources in APA format - one book, two databases sources, one internet source - with each annotation providing a description, evaluation, and reflection of the source.
The Annotated Bibliography
This document provides instructions on how to create an annotated bibliography. It defines an annotated bibliography as a list of citations followed by brief descriptive and evaluative paragraphs (annotations) that describe the relevance and quality of each source. The annotations typically evaluate the author's authority, intended audience, main points, and how the source illuminates the research topic. The document outlines the process of researching sources, writing citations, and composing 150-word annotations with four key elements: authority, audience, main points, and relevance. It provides formatting guidelines and an example of a properly formatted annotated bibliography entry.
MLA style

It provides direction on what to include in writing a literature review such as summarizing previous findings, identifying gaps, and making recommendations for further research.
literature review
The document provides an overview of conducting and organizing a literature review. It discusses that a literature review surveys and critically evaluates relevant scholarly sources on a particular topic and provides context for a research study. It outlines the process of formulating a research problem, searching literature, critically analyzing sources, and organizing the review. Key steps include determining if a problem needs further research, narrowing a focus, generating hypotheses, understanding the field, and critiquing sources for their assumptions, methods, findings and implications. The document provides tips for writing the review such as introducing and summarizing subtopics and connecting them to the overall topic.
Bibliometric study
Bibliometrics literally means "book measurement" but the term is used about all kinds of documents (with journal articles as the dominant kind of document).
What is measured are not the physical properties of documents but statistical patterns in variables such as authorship, sources, subjects, geographical origins, and citations.
BIBLIOMETRICS LAWS
The document discusses bibliometrics and bibliometric laws. It defines bibliometrics as the application of mathematical and statistical methods to bibliographic information, and discusses its origins and objectives. Three important bibliometric laws are covered: Lotka's law describes the frequency of publication by authors, Bradford's law explains the scattering of articles across journals, and Zipf's law concerns the frequency of word usage. In conclusion, bibliometrics is an important tool in library and information science for studying information processes and flows.

Bibliographies
A bibliography is a list of sources used or considered in preparing a scholarly work or other document. It provides essential information about those sources, including the author, title, publisher, and date. There are several types of bibliographies, including systematic enumerative bibliographies that list all published works on a topic, national bibliographies published by governments, subject bibliographies on a particular topic, and guides to reference materials. Bibliographies serve three main purposes - to identify and verify information, locate materials, and select materials for a collection.
MLA, APA
This document provides an overview of the APA and MLA citation styles. It defines APA as the style of the American Psychological Association and MLA as the style of the Modern Language Association. Both are used to cite sources in research papers and require in-text citations and bibliographies that are formatted differently. The key differences between APA and MLA are that APA is more commonly used in scientific and social science fields, while MLA is used more in language and literature fields. Both require double spaced papers with 1 inch margins but have different rules for page headers and bibliographies.
bibliography
This document defines and describes different types of bibliographies. It begins by defining a bibliography as an alphabetized list of sources used in research. It then describes several types of bibliographies including annotated, enumerative, national, international, current, retrospective, serial, analytical, and subject bibliographies. The purpose and uses of bibliographies are also outlined, including giving credit to authors, providing access to information, and indicating a lack of plagiarism. Styles for formatting bibliographies such as APA, MLA, and Chicago are also briefly covered.
Citing, referencing and bibliographies
How to cite and reference sources in an academic assignment. Preparing a bibliography or reference list.
Critical review of a research article
The critical review is a writing task that requires summarizing and evaluating a text such as a book, chapter, or journal article. It involves reading the text in detail as well as other related materials to present a fair evaluation. At university, being critical means questioning information and opinions in a text and making a judgment, not just criticizing negatively. The review should introduce the text, present a summary, and provide a balanced discussion of its strengths and weaknesses supported by other sources. It concludes with a restatement of the overall evaluation and possible recommendations.
Webometrics
Webometrics is defined as the study of quantitative aspects of web construction and use through bibliometric and informetric approaches. It considers linking relationships and volume between websites to determine significance. Main areas of webometrics research include link analysis, web citation analysis, search engine studies, and web impact analysis. Link analysis quantitatively studies hyperlinks between pages and web citation analysis looks at how often articles are cited on the web.
Difference between abstract and summary
An abstract provides an introduction and overview of a full document, including background, purpose, results, and contents. It allows readers to quickly understand the key points and decide if they want to read the entire document. A summary is a condensed version of a text that outlines the central ideas, making it shorter than the original. While an abstract is found at the beginning of a research article, a summary can stand alone. The main difference is that an abstract includes purpose and results, while a summary only focuses on the central concepts.
Doing a Literature Review
The literature review is not merely a simple compilation or a list of every item and resource with any possible relation to your topic. A good literature review is a critical appraisal of narrowly focused, selected and truly relevant work that provides the current status (perspective) of the topic. This presentation basically is a brief guide on the process of doing and writing a literature review for a thesis, research proposal, research paper, etc.
Style manual assingment (1)

The MLA section provides examples of citing books, articles, reference works, and online sources. The APA section briefly describes the style and provides examples of citing books by a single or multiple authors.
Types of indexes
This document discusses different types of indexes, including alphabetical, author, book, citation, classified, coordinate, cumulative, and faceted indexes. It provides details on the defining characteristics and purposes of each type. Alphabetical indexes list entries in one alphabetical order but can have problems with synonyms and scattering of entries. Author indexes use people or organizations as entry points. Book indexes are commonly found at the back of books to locate information. Citation indexes show which papers cite a given paper. Classified indexes arrange contents systematically by classes or subjects. Coordinate indexes allow terms to be combined. Cumulative indexes merge indexes over time. Faceted indexes attempt to discover all individual aspects of a subject.
Types of literature review
This document outlines different types of literature reviews, including narrative reviews, critical reviews, scoping reviews, conceptual reviews, state-of-the-art reviews, argumentative reviews, integrative reviews, historical reviews, methodological reviews, theoretical reviews, quantitative and qualitative meta-analysis reviews, and systematic reviews. It provides brief descriptions of each type of literature review and what they aim to accomplish, such as summarizing previous research, identifying gaps, or comparing and evaluating perspectives.

Explanation
Annotated Bibliography is a genre of writing in academia that works to show your awareness of what others have written about a topic. The work done in an AB, including introducing the authors with brief intellectual biographies; explicating the main claims and concepts; tracing the argument and its evidence; evaluating the source; and discussing its stakes and implications gives some context to the course reading you choose to research and situates the course reading into a research topic by indicating the intellectual conversations you are entering. The point of this assignment is to practice research skills but also to dig a little deeper into 4 of our readings using research. For this assignment:Writing Task
1. Compile an Annotated Bibliographyof five scholarly sources, including one entry for Gayle Rubin’s “Thinking Sex” and 4 more scholarly sources based on researching sources that are connected to one (the deep dive) or more of our course readings. See the next page for the specific AB entry format.
· Sources
· “Scholarly” means peer-reviewed articles from academic journals or chapters in books written by experts in a field and not wikis, encyclopedias, newspapers, popular magazines/media, blogs, websites, etc. (see the Library Guide on what constitutes a scholarly source).
· “Connected” means that each of your researched, scholarly sources must be connection to a course reading in some way. You can either find a source that engages or discusses the particular critical essay or cultural text from the course calendar or you can do research on a topic or theme that is brought up in or similar to the course reading. Whatever you decide, you’ll explain the connection in your quote analysis.
· “Deep Dive” means you may also include more than one researched source per course text. You can, for instance, research two sources on a critical essay and two on a cultural text or even include 4 sources that are all about one essay or text to give some in-depth engagement with one course reading. Alternatively, you may also include 4 sources on 4 different course texts.
· Focus
· If you’d like, you canfocus your research within a broad topic, on a field of knowledge, or on a really specific object of analysis within that topic. For example, you can produce an AB based on a specific topic (like racialized hypersexuality, the sex/gender/desire matrix, or a particular sexual stereotype) or a specific discipline (for instance, focus on the sociology of sex) or an interdisciplinary one that pursues a critical research question through multiple fields of knowledge (for instance, focused on how sociology, cult.

A critique is an essay that identifies, evaluates, and responds to an author's ideas both positively and negatively. It demonstrates that the writer can understand an article's strengths and weaknesses, identify different positions, and engage with experts. When critiquing, the writer develops an understanding of the broader discipline. To critique an article, a writer must identify the purpose and main idea, evaluate the argument's convincingness and assumptions, and respond with an objective assessment and discussion of issues raised and avoided.

The Review
For this assignment, you will be required to write a scholarly review of Cormac
McCarthy’s The Road. In this review, you will be required to interpret The Road within a
larger conversation (based on the themes you have been developing throughout the past
few weeks). Your review will need to include supplemental information from two of our
previous texts.
750 Word Minimum. Posted to your Class Blog. Legible font, images, sound, etc. strongly
recommended.
Why Write and How to Write a Review:
The purpose of a scholarly review is to summarize, analyze, evaluate, and place within a
field of scholarship whatever is being reviewed. Often, the audience of the scholarly
review has some familiarity with the text (book, movie, TV show, etc) that is being
reviewed. Even if this is not the case, the audience will have some background and/or
interest in the discipline and the subject. Consequently, the scholarly review is less a
summary and more a critical evaluation or commentary.
The type of review that you will engage in is often referred to as a critique, a critical
analysis, or a critical review. Whatever it’s called, the scholarly review tells an educated
audience of the significance of a text or film within the context of a discipline, field of
study, or particular subject or course.
Looking at reviews published in various magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals
will give you a good idea of the differing audiences and forms of review. You can find
current book/movie reviews using the same library tools that you use to find any other
type of academic source. Using the advanced search option, choose “book review” as
your preferred document type to limit your search to only reviews.
What a Review is Not
• A review is not a research paper. Some students, instead of writing about a book or
a film when they are asked to write a review, write a research paper on the subject
of the book or film.
• A review is not a summary. While it is important to summarize the contents and
significance of whatever you review, you are not merely informing your audience
of the basic plot or events. Instead, you are writing towards a different audience
that will be interested in a critical evaluation, analysis, and/or commentary on the
material.
• A review is not an “off-the-cuff,” personal response. Writing a review will involve
communicating a personal view on the material, but flippant statements that don’t
express your understanding of what you have read do not further the conversation.
Comments like: “I thought the book was interesting” or “The book was boring”
are not sufficient. Instead, you should strive to explain why the book was
interesting (not only for yourself, but potentially for others). Did the text reveal
some new data/thoughts? In order to be effective, a reviewer must be fair and
accurate. You will need to work hard to express the underlying reasons for your
first reactions. ...
Analytical Essay and Argumentative Essay
The analytical essay analyzes a work of art such as a book or poem. It includes an introduction presenting an argument, an analysis of the text supporting the argument, a personal response, and a conclusion relating the analysis back to the argument. The analysis pays attention to stylistic devices used by the author and evaluates whether the author's goals were accomplished. The argumentative essay proves the author's opinion is more truthful than others' by presenting a clear and focused argument supported by evidence from both sides of the topic. It follows the structure of introduction, body paragraphs with evidence, and conclusion.

Ethical dilemmas arise when choices have negative consequences, making right from wrong unclear. When making ethical decisions, managers consider the needs of individuals versus groups.

Why Use MLA?
The document provides an overview of MLA (Modern Language Association) style, which is commonly used for research papers in colleges. MLA style allows writers to cite sources in their papers and provide attribution for ideas that did not originate with them. It establishes conventions for in-text citations and bibliographies that make it easy for readers to locate the sources used. While MLA format may seem complex, learning it in high school prepares students for college, where professors expect papers to follow MLA guidelines and provide little instruction on the style themselves.

AP Poetry Explication
This document provides guidance on how to explicate a poem through a short analysis. It recommends closely examining the poem's language, form, themes, and dramatic elements to understand the relationships between its parts. The analysis should start with identifying the speaker and main conflict, then discuss design elements like rhetoric, syntax and patterns line by line to develop an interpretation while incorporating discussion of rhyme, meter and other poetic techniques. The goal is to connect the poem's small parts to illuminate its overall meaning and relationships.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
