Assignment Instructions
For assignment one, you will compose an annotated bibliography in preparation for completing a literature review. Select an ethical issue in human resources related to a proposal you would like to make in your organization. In the second assignment, you will build on your research and write a literature review in the form of a policy proposal on this issue. As a result, select your issue in light of framing a proposal to senior leadership.
You will present information on this issue in two sections. The first section should be written in the form of an academic essay, providing an introduction of 2-3 pages that explains the issue you have selected and what you intend to propose to your organization. You will then create an annotated bibliography of at least 10 sources (no more than 12).
What is an Annotated Bibliography?
According to Purdue Owl Writing (2019), an annotated bibliography provides a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources listed in a bibliography. While any phrases directly quoted from the source should be properly indicated, an annotated bibliography should capture, in your own words, the key ideas contained in each source.
An annotated bibliography can provide many types of information. Depending on the nature of your assignment, an annotated bibliography will typically answer some or all of the following questions:
Summary: What are the main arguments presented in the source? What is the point of this source (i.e., book or scholarly article)? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this source is about, what would you say?
Assessment: Is this a useful source? In what ways? What unique or valuable information can this source provide? Is the information reliable? Does it have any weaknesses?
Record of Research: What are the main things you learned from this source? What do you need to remember about this source in order to find and access it quickly while writing your rough draft?
Mechanics: Submitted assignment should be submitted in APA format, include a cover page, and a 2-3 page introduction to the selected issue (including in-text citation and references as appropriate). The introduction should be written in the form of an executive summary:
What is the issue?
Why is it relevant to the organization?
Annotations go beneath the bibliographic listing for each source in paragraph form. The lengths of the annotations may vary; however, they must be a minimum of two paragraphs in length, but no more than 1 full page.
