You have defined the assignment and located various items of research. Now, imagine yourself sitting at a desk with all of this stuff in front of you: magazine articles, journal articles, and maybe even a clip from a television interview on your computer. The time has come to select the sources that deserve to be in your research paper. It's important to develop an ability to think critically and make decisions about each source. Some of these judgments can be made based on the type of resource, while others will require an ability to assess the quality of the information and the character of the writer or speaker. The source that fits the following description satisfies three of the five criteria for making decisions about research. In the campus library, you have found a large encyclopedia on the history of modern art, and it contains passages on both paintings. It also includes short biographies of each artist. Because the book covers the entire history of modern art, it can only offer a shallow description of each painting, and the information is pretty general in nature. The tone of the writing is dry and academic, and the writer never discusses what he likes about the art. Instead, he focuses on the facts and how critics and the public reacted to each painting. Check all that apply. Coverage Currency Authority Accuracy Objectivity You have judged each of the individual sources that make up the body of your research. Now you need to identify the best way to shape this research by selecting the best way to categorize the sources. Think about the assignment and the example source that you just judged. Now, select the best way to organize the research for this paper. Topical Compare/contrast Problem/solution

Text: Based on the topic and theoretical lens you have chosen in Unit Four, carry out a review of the literature around the topic selected and generate an annotated bibliography. (The topic was what do people do in Surrey Lake Park) Gather and assess five scholarly research articles relevant to your topic, compiling these articles into an annotated bibliography. Annotated bibliographies are comprised of a brief summary of the article and a discussion and assessment of how the article will contribute to the research project. These five sources must be scholarly sources of original research, such as journal articles and books. Although students may use relevant course readings for their research projects, the annotated bibliographies must not include course readings. Each annotated bibliography should be approximately 150-200 words per entry (total 750-1000 words). Annotated bibliographies must be written according to academic standards of scholarship and referencing using APA. Evaluation Part C will be marked in its entirety out of 100. The following rubric indicates the criteria students are to adhere to, and their relative weights to the assignment overall.

Article Assignment 1 (25 Points Total—5% of Your Grade) Instructions For this article assignment, I want to make sure that you are able to access journal articles in our library databases. The article that I would like you to find is entitled "The Importance of Values in Understanding Organizational Behavior" written by Barry Z. Posner and J. Michael Munson in 1979.

This part of the assignment is worth 10 points. Then, read the article and answer the five questions listed below, in the designated "Answer:" space that I have provided. Each question is worth 3 points. Submit your completed assignment to the appropriate "Submission Folder". This assignment is due by 11:30 PM on February 2, 2021.
