CLASS REQUIREMENT #
4--TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION AND PRACTICE: An Annotated Bibliography
will be developed including Five (100 word minimum) Annotated Citations.
With the exception of the first, these will be based on topics obtained
from the Language Development Hypotheses in the list provided at the end of
this survival document, and again in the Class Requirement Section online.
The First annotated
citation will be on the Topic of the “Legal and Ethical Dimensions of the
Use of Information.” This information can be obtained from the
Internet using a search engine such as Google Scholar. The annotated
citation should be in APA format and should include the URL (address) of the of
the internet site. The annotation should provide an overview of the discussion
and/or list the most critical points.
The second two
of these citations will be obtained through Databases of professional books and
journals available online through the CSUN Library. For more information
on how to find these databases please see the discussion in the Class
Requirements Section Online. These citations will be reported in APA
format. Included in the annotation portion of each citation
will be a paragraph which addresses briefly each following questions:
1. What is the background
(authority) of the author (viz., degree and type of education, affiliated
institution, history of research in the area as perhaps reflected by past
articles in the bibliography)?
2. Who is the intended
audience (i.e., professionals, laypersons, women etc.)?
3. How dose this work
compare or contrast with another you may have cited or be aware of?
4. What is the scope and
relevance of this work to the selected topic (hypothesis)?
The Last Two
citations will be obtained through the Internet using search engines provided
online such as “Google Scholar.” These citations will follow an APA
format as closely as possible, including the URL information.
Included in each citation will be a paragraph which addresses the following
questions related to, for the purpose of this exercise, the voracity of
the Website:
1. Is the site
owner/manager’s identity available and is it associated with a reputable
organization, company or educational institution?
2. What is the background
(authority) of the author (viz., degree and type of education, affiliated
institution, history of research in the area as perhaps reflected by past
articles in the bibliography)
3. What is the level of
objectivity? For example, are there advertisements on the site related in
anyway to the topic?
4. Is the Website
current? Cues to the contrary, for example, include broken or expired
links and/or no posting date or updated notations.
5. Is the information
correct; error free, verifiable, and/or backed by full citations?
This annotated
bibliography may be submitted as an attachment to an email message to the
instructor, and as a back up measure, by being copied and pasted directly into
the same email message text.
