Week 2 discussion

Practice in writing a critical annotated bibliography

Your second writing assignment in WRTG 391 will be a critical annotated bibliography.

After you have watched both of the following videos

-video on WA #2 -- approaching the critical annotated bibliography

-video tutorial -- how to write an annotated bibliography

Please perform the following tasks:

Please access the article, “The CSI Effect at University: Forensic Science Students' Television Viewing and Perceptions of Ethical Issue," by Roslyn Weaver, Yenna Salamonson, Jane Koch, and Glenn Porter.

This article is in the e-reserves section of your class. You can access the article by taking the following steps:

click Content

select Class Resources

select eReserves

select the icon for eReserves in the middle of your page.

in the list of items that appears, locate the article and download it

After accessing the article, imagine that this is one of your articles for your critical annotated bibliography. Please complete the following in responding to this discussion thread:

1. List the article in APA format, as the second video describes.

2. Write a 150-to-200-word summary/critique of the article in which you not only summarize the article but also note any strengths or weaknesses you find in it. In addition, mention whether it will be a possible article for writing assignment #3.

Again, you are not necessarily using this article in your critical annotated bibliography, and you will not necessarily write about the "CSI Effect" for your submission of writing assignment #3. However, this exercise is designed to help you become familiar with listing a source in APA format and with writing a critical annotation for it.

Library exercise #1

This discussion thread is designed to help you become familiar with OneSearch. OneSearch is a service that is available through ’s Library and Information Services website. It allows a user to locate scholarly articles and other resources through a single search engine.

Please watch library tutorial #1.

Then respond to this discussion thread by answering the following question and completing the following task:

1. What topic are you considering for your critical annotated bibliography? In other words, on what general area of interest are you going to locate 12 scholarly articles?

2. Find one article for your annotated bibliography using the tips mentioned in the tutorial. Then list the source in APA format and write your summary/critique of 150-200 words.
