What Is an Annotated Bibliography?An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

Annotations vs. AbstractsAbstracts are the purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly journal articles or in periodical indexes. Annotations are descriptive and critical; they may describe the author’s point of view, authority, or clarity and appropriateness of expression.

Annotated Bibliography Directions: 100 points must have three sourcesCreating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research. You must have a minimum of three sources.

1. First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.

2. Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style.

3.Step three is critical since your grade will be based upon how well you write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Be sure to include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) finally, explain how this work illuminates your topic and how you intend to use it in your essay. Make sure you include ALL of these four components in your 150-200-word annotation to receive full points.

Sample Annotated Bibliography Entries

The following example uses APA style (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th edition, 2019) for the journal citation:

Waite, L., Goldschneider, F., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and the erosion of traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51, 541-554.

The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living.

This example uses MLA style (MLA Handbook, 8th edition, 2016) for the citationWaite, Linda J., et al. “Nonfamily Living and the Erosion of Traditional Family Orientations Among Young Adults.”

American Sociological Review, vol. 51, no. 4, 1986, pp. 541-554. (

Assignment 2: Designing a Meeting

When communicating within the context of a meeting, leaders and managers always must be mindful the strengths and drawbacks of meetings. Knowing how to design, develop, and shape your messages is important.

Review the following scenario:

You have been selected to address the quarterly meeting of your company’s board of directors. You will be delivering negative updates that include low profits, pending lawsuits, and high employee turnover. The members of your board of directors are dispersed across the country.

Based on your analysis of the scenario and the meeting design practices covered in this module, address the following:

  • What measures will you take to ensure that you achieve the purpose of the meeting?
  • List and briefly explain the rationale for using the practices that you will adopt to ensure that the meeting proceeds smoothly and productively.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

Safety Policies Recall your chosen firm and industry you have been using throughout the course. For this assignment, you will identify the top three major safety and health issues in your firm, and write a policy on each, consistent with Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) standards. There is a minimum requirement of 300 words for each of the three job policies. Each of the five domains of OSHA must be considered when writing these three policies: 1. Hazard communication: How will you notify people of potentially dangerous or unhealthy work conditions? 2. Blood-borne pathogens: How will you protect employees from blood-borne pathogens such as AIDS? 3. Personal protective equipment (PPE): What equipment or tools will your employees in this job require to work safely? 4. Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs): How will you prevent CTDs that come from repetitive movement (e.g., carpel tunnel syndrome)? 5. Work assignments: How will you handle potentially dangerous work assignments, especially to protect unborn babies? NOTE: This is a three-part assignment. All three of the policies (300 words each) you write should go on one document. This one document is what will be uploaded to Blackboard. Any sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format
