Assessment Task - Annotated Bibliography
Learning Outcome 1: Apply research, academic and communication skills appropriate to the level of study and observe academic referencing requirements.
Learning Outcome 2: Critically analyse texts and/or multimedia material in both a business and academic context.
Context - The assessment supports students in developing their skills and knowledge in sourcing books, periodicals and other documents, as well as evaluating the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the materials. Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of succinct analytical and reflective skills, as well as informed online and library research. This assessment provides experience and understanding of information literacy and the analysis and synthesis of a range of resources involved in academic research and writing.
Instructions - In this assessment, you will address a contemporary organisational or business issue and apply research skills to identify, select and analyse 10 sources to form an annotated bibliography. The issue and resources used in Assessment 1A will also form the basis for Assessment 1B - Forming an Argument.
A digital communications topic will be selected by your lecturer in week 1. The selected topic will be the basis of student research for all three assessments.
When examining a topic, consider the following:
Locate material (books, periodicals, white papers and other documents) that may contain useful information and ideas on your issue.
Briefly examine and review the items and select 10 that represent a variety of perspectives on the issue.
Write an annotation of 150 words for each reference summarising the central theme and scope. The annotation should include one or more sentences that,
- evaluate the authority or background of the author
- comment on the intended audience
- compare or contrast this work with another you have cited
