BSHS 312, Week 2, Individual Assignment: Self-Management Behavioral Contract
Select a goal: something that you would like to change about yourself. Perhaps you would like to
stop smoking, or to control drinking, improve study habits, manage time better or change eating
or exercise habits. It is critical that your goal be measurable, attainable, positive, and significant
to you.
Describe the goal as target behaviors. What specific behaviors do you want to increase or
decrease?
Choose a means of monitoring your progress, such as a chart or a behavioral diary.
Write a contract that states all of the above points and specifies both internal and external
consequences for actions in a realistic time frame, such as short-term rewards for adhering to the
contract and a long-term reward for meeting the goals.
BSHS 312 Week 2, Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is
followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the
annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and
quality of the sources cited.
Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills:
concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.

2. First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful
information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose
those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.
Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style.
Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article.
Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b)
comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have
cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.
