Bibliography Assignment and Requirements
For Unit III, you will not write a paper! Instead, you will create an annotated bibliography (click here to link to Purdue OWL’s detailed explanation).
An annotated bibliography is a Works Cited page that contains brief summaries (usually one to two paragraphs) of each source. Here is a Sample Annotated Bibliography for English 1020. Take a look at the sample; you will produce a document like this one for Unit III.
Slide Show Lecture Unit III explains the “what and why” behind an annotated bibliography. Make sure you refer to the slide show a few times to help you form a concept for this assignment. The slide show explains the purpose of an annotation and how to create one.
In short, an annotated bibliography is a “map” of research that you gather on a topic. You create an annotated bibliography to deepen your knowledge of a subject, in preparation to write on that subject in depth.
HOW DO I BEGIN?
Choose a topic after referring to the list of retired topics:
THESE TOPICS ARE RETIRED: Abortion and related topics, Capital Punishment, and Gun Control and related topics (they are too broad for this assignment).
For this assignment I recommend that you choose a topic related to a profession that you have or a profession that you hope to have one day. Choose something that interests you. You may also choose something related to a hobby.
For example, I had a pre-health physical therapy major (who was also a runner) who did an annotated bibliography on barefoot running (so she combined her hobby and future career). She researched injuries related to running and looked at whether or not barefoot running increased or decreased typical running injuries.
See the Unit III: Discussion I: Topic Proposals discussion for a list of example topics that might inspire some ideas.
At this stage of the assignment, you do not need to know the specific angle that you will take as you write about your topic; you only need to choose a topic that interests you.
BIBLIOGRAPHY REQUIREMENTS:
Write a minimum of 600 words
Use a minimum of 5 sources. One source must be a peer reviewed journal article or a book. Each source is worth 20 points of the 100 points for this assignment.
Avoid writing on the list of retired topics (see above). You will have to start over if you do.
Include a minimum one paragraph annotation in your own words of each source. Each annotation is a one or two paragraph passage that summarizes the source and assesses the source in your words (how useful does this source seem to you?)
Double-space your bibliography
Use the “hanging indent” and MLA format in your bibliographic entires
Use 12 point, Times New Roman Font
Use MLA Essay format (see the MLA Format Help Module)
Upload your essay to the Unit III Dropbox by the deadline on the class schedule

Did you choose something related to your own personal interests? You could also reflect on topics you thought about choosing, but ultimately bypassed – why did you decide not to pursue them?

Week 5 Journal: Deciding on a Research Topic
Create Journal Entry
Journal Choosing a research topic can be both a liberating opportunity and a daunting challenge.
Many writers and researchers find that being allowed to select their own topic of research
inspires them to examine a deeper, more complex topic, or that it allows them to research
a personal interest. However, some find the prospect of narrowing down a research topic
to be intimidating – how does one go about choosing a topic that will sustain a research paper?
For this week’s journal post, you should reflect on how you went about deciding what topic
you wanted to explore for your own final paper. Did you decide on an academic topic related
to your major? Did you choose something related to your own personal interests? You could
also reflect on topics you thought about choosing, but ultimately bypassed – why did you decide
not to pursue them?

Deviance Experience

Conduct an experiment in deviant behavior. The idea is to violate a social norm (nothing illegal or dangerous please, I don’t need any calls from the police) and observe how the people around you respond. You will write a 3 page paper that has three basic sections: (1) description of the situation, (2) reaction of the people around you, and (3) your feelings during the situation. Make sure you also connect the breaking of this social norm to your Christian faith.
Make sure that your paper is typewritten, double-spaced using 12-point Times New Roman font and 1″ margins. You also need an APA Style Title Page.

Case Study Evaluation for Leading Small Groups

H Small groups are a vital part of nearly every type of ministry setting in some form or fashion, and leading small groups well involves the application of biblical wisdom to effective listening and communication skills. For this assignment, select one of the challenging scenarios below that are commonly faced in leading small groups, and write a 500-750-word essay that answers the question prompt connected to the scenario you chose:
You have been leading a small group for some time, and you are finding that one to two people are starting to dominate the discussion, while others in the small group rarely participating in the discussion. How can biblical wisdom help you apply effective listening and/or communication skills to lead the group to engage in a more balanced and inclusive interaction in the group discussion?
During one small group session, the discussion seems to suggest that the Bible “means” different things to different people. How can biblical wisdom help you apply effective listening and/or communication skills to lead the group to see that the meaning of the biblical text is the same for everyone, while the application of the biblical text will likely differ for the members of the group in some ways?
After leading a few small group sessions, you are finding that you are doing most of the talking during the entire small group sessions, and you are having trouble getting others to ask questions or share their thoughts. How can biblical wisdom help you apply effective listening and/or communication skills to cultivate more discussion from the group members?
After leading a few small group sessions, you are finding that the members of the group are very talkative; however, they are having trouble staying focused in their interactions. How can biblical wisdom help you apply effective listening and/or communication skills to strike a balance between not dampening the participation of the group members and yet keeping them focused in the group sessions in their interaction?
The paper should be written in the following format:
Include a separate, introductory paragraph that mentions the importance of effective listening and communication skills for leading small groups well.
The body of the paper should summarize that particular challenging scenario selected from the list above in your own words. The body should also clearly and directly interact with Scripture in order to show how the application of biblical wisdom can lead to effective listening and communication skills in the chosen scenario. This section of the paper should include biblical references from both the Old and New Testaments.
Include a separate concluding paragraph that summarizes the overall thoughts of the paper.
In addition to Scripture and any course resources used, the paper should include at least two additional academic resource from the GCU Library.

Essay-Marketing – Teamwork

Marketing- Communication
and Managerial Control
Answer these essay
questions:
1.
Identify a
communications difficulty that occurred when you used an electronic channel
(Email or SMS) that you believe would not have occurred had you delivered the
message in a face-to-face meeting. What was there about the use of the
electronic channel that was at the heart of the problem that is not an issue
when talking face-to-face? If you have an opportunity to send the same kind of
message again by an electronic means, what would you do differently, and why?
2.
Firms are becoming ever
more dependent upon electronic communication channels for many reasons,
including: virtual employees, growth of project complexity, the global
marketplace, and the fact that customers can now come from everywhere. Do you
believe that high quality virtual presence (video, audio, shared documents,
etc.) is becoming more important? Explain your answer.
3.
It has been argued that
bureaucratic control systems are a holdover from a time when businesses,
products, technologies, and society itself ran, and changed, at a far slower
pace than it does today. Due to the rapid growth of global competition, the
acceleration of technology change, and the growing interconnectedness of
individuals some believe that bureaucracies should be replaced by more agile
and dynamic mechanisms. For example, statistical process control, one of a
number of tools and methods W. Edwards Deming successfully advocated after
World War II, strived to improve quality and productivity by removing sources
of variation. Detractors assert that business in today’s agile world changes
too quickly for statistical process control to be useful. Attack or defend the
position that the basic ideas of bureaucratic control systems are still
relevant in today’s world, and support your argument.
4.
Some argue that the
traditional role of managers and bureaucratic control systems are in conflict
with the principles and processes of self-management and self-designing teams.
It has been suggested that managers need to change to be more like coaches in
order for such agile teams to be effective. Attack or defend this idea and
support your position.
