CM220 College Composition Assignment - Purdue University Global, USA
Topic - "Using Research to Support Academic and Professional Assertions"
For this Competency Assessment, you will create an Annotated Bibliography that reviews four sources related to an argument for change in your community or workplace. One of the sources in the Annotated Bibliography should address an opposing viewpoint or misconception related to your topic.
It is recommended that you use the thesis statement you created for the second-course assessment for CM220, but you may create a new thesis statement if you prefer.
Each annotation will be cited with a complete APA reference page citation for the source and a paragraph about each source that includes a summary of the source's main idea, an evaluation of its credibility, and a discussion about the source's usefulness to your argument.
Directly below the APA reference for each source, provide an annotation paragraph that includes the following:
Brief summary of the source (no direct quotes from the source) and a parenthetical citation after the summary, e.g., (Smith, 2014)
Explanation of how the source meets credibility standards, including the author's credentials and the verifiability of the source's information; this should include where you found the source (Library, Google search engine, government website, etc.)
Discussion about how you will use the source to support your argument for community change (this would include whether it poses a challenge to your argument that you will need to address). In this section, paraphrase a key point from the source that supports or challenges your thesis and include an in-text citation.
At least one source should address an opposing viewpoint or misconception about your selected topic.
You may select a variety of source types, but keep in mind that all sources should be credible based upon the criteria covered in this module. Types of sources that would be appropriate are as follows:
Book, ebook, article, or a chapter from book or ebook
Periodical (e.g., newspaper, magazine, journal article)
