First being our introduction paper which mentions the questions that help guide (and need to be answered), an integrative disciplinary paper, literature review, and research methodology. All of these need to be combined to make our final paper which has to be 15 pages long. I will provide you with the example paper my professor provided us with to get a feel for how it is suppposed to look in the end. I will also provide my previous ppapers as a point of reference for what you are to be writing about.

Category: Liberal arts
This week you probably came across a reading or a video clip that you disagreed with to some extent.
Select two readings or one reading and one video clip
In a minimum of 750 words, explain why you disagree with the source/s’ point of view; feel free to use the other readings for this week or outside credible academic sources to underscore your points
Now, try to imagine the possible response/s to your arguments and objections. Explain the response and rebut your opponent in this imaginary debate. In your rebuttal, consider that you may come across many opportunities to disagree with fellow students throughout your UMass Global experience. Write your rebuttal with consideration of how you would address such controversies with fellow students in a debate that is not imaginary.
OR
Consider this scenario (in a minimum of 750 words):
In Dostoyevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment the main character plots and carries out the murder of an old woman who has a considerable amount of money in her apartment. After killing her, he steals the money. He argues that
She is a malicious old woman, petty, cantankerous and scheming, useless to herself and to society (which happens to be true), and her life causes no happiness to herself or to others; and
Her money, if found after her death, would only fall into the hands of chisellers anyway, whereas he would use it for his education (no doubt at UMass Global).
Putting aside for a moment the small detail that the murder is a crime – is this action justified in some way? Yes or no and why? There is one catch; the only sources you can use to buttress your arguments one way or the other must come from this week’s readings and video clips.
Remember to use academic writing style. Academic Style.PNG
APA formatting is required (see template in Course Information). In addition, see the rubric in Course Information for scoring. Save your paper as a doc with your name and the assignment name in the file, using Last Name_Assignment. So, if your name were Alicia Jackson, and this is your Ethics Essay , you would title it Jackson_Ethics. Upload your paper by clicking the “WEEK 7 ASSIGNMENT – ETHICS” link above.
NOTE: It is recommended to run your paper through Correct English for immediate writing feedback on mechanics, grammar, and usage errors.
Select three of the ten references from the Topic 2 “APA Reference List Assignment.” Create an annotated bibliography for each of the three references (It is recommended to choose 3 scholarly journal articles to annotate from your Topic 2 reference list. If you need to locate additional journal articles, please feel free to do so).
Each annotation must have 150-200 words, making a total of 450-600 words for the entire assignment. Each annotation should include the following elements:
APA style reference of the article being annotated
A paraphrased summary of the article (See note on paraphrasing below.)
An assessment of why it is a scholarly reference
A reflection on how it is applicable to your research
Note: Go to the Student Success Center and search key words “Preparing Annotated Bibliographies” for help with this assignment.
Note on Step 2 Paraphrasing: Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from source material. As you write each annotation use the following paraphrasing guidelines.
There are three main steps to paraphrasing:
Identify the original idea(s) in the article.
Identify general points regarding the idea(s).
Summarize the general points of the article in your own words.
Follow the steps above for all three articles you chose.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
Article Summary: Please try to paraphrase the article/direct quotes into your own words in this assignment. In-text citations are required.
In a summary, only reference the authors of the article.
This assignment must be submitted into the LopesWrite drop-box before final submission.
There is a rubric for this assignment, and it is located within the assignment drop-box. There is a sample of a summary attached below.
Do NOT copy and paste material directly from the article into your essay. This includes copying and pasting material and then changing a few words as an attempt at paraphrasing.
Do NOT use long quotes in this article summary. I would greatly prefer that you focus on summarizing the main concepts from the essay in your own words to show your full understanding of the concepts. The concept is that you are condensing larger amounts of information into a concise form.
Do NOT use first person pronouns or phrases in your writing. Instead of saying, “I think that the authors created a valid study,” you could simply say, “The authors created a valid study.” Your direct statements will show what you think, feel, and believe.
Do NOT get off track or make personal reflections about online education in general.
Do NOT reference the references used in the article (such as the articles by Beaudoin, Klemm, and Swan) if you have not read them yourself.
Do NOT title your essay, since it is the title of the published article that you read. Instead, you can simply use the title “Article Summary” for this task.
You have full and free access to the article through the GCU library too. It’s good practice for finding articles! Please keep in mind that you can always try “Ask a Librarian” when you have questions about research in our library.

Annotated Bibliography
Please be sure to study the sample provided. An annotated bibliography is a graduate school assignment meant to be useful to the student, and to be checked by an instructor. The audience for the assignment is just you and me. Please keep in mind, you are not evaluating a source to recommend to strangers. You are making objective observations that will help you with future research. You are required to submit your annotated bibliography to LopesWrite.Remember to use APA format,7th edition for students.
