Communications Question

Annotated Bibliography

50 Points

This will be an individual writing assignment designed to help you focus on research. Find and cite 7-10 sources and write a short annotation (4-5 sentences) about what the source is and how it is useful in understanding your proposed topic. You should aim to have 6+ scholarly sources (i.e., peer-reviewed journal articles) but you have some freedom with the credible sources you choose.

Be sure you follow APA formatting guidelines for Annotated Bibliographies. An APA sample annotation can be found here. Individual Paper Drafts

15 points Total

There will be 3 drafts due throughout the semester. Each draft will consist of individual page requirements, not including references and title page. Even though the drafts are worth 5 points each (15 points total), these are not optional! In order to count as a writing course, a certain amount of writing and revision must be assigned and completed throughout the semester. If missed, you will not receive points for the final paper and will not pass the class!

Draft 1, Literature Review — due Saturday, 2/20/2021 (at least 4-5 pages)

Draft 2, Introduction and Conclusion — due Saturday, 3/13/2021 (3-4 pages)

Draft 3, Suggestions/Discussion — due Saturday, 3/27/2021 (2-3 pages)

Draft 1 | Literature Review

Please submit the Draft assignment in the correct weekly module. Please only submit a Word document or PDF (Do NOT submit a Pages document).

undefined

The first draft will consist of 4-5 pages of writing, not including references and title page. Using your annotated Bibliography sources, craft a slightly shortened version of your literature review for your Individual Paper.

undefined

Your paragraphs should be approximately 4-6 sentences – too short and it should be combined with other information but too long and it gets difficult to follow. Use headings and subheadings to help guide the reader. To list a few sources as examples of a larger body of work, you can use the word “see” in the parenthetical, as has been done here (see Bloom et al., 1956; Cashin, 1990; Theall, 2017). Try to focus on the past 10 years, when possible, but if not possible, acknowledge the changes since that time.

undefined

Make sure to define each concept you are looking at (e.g., power, conflict, etc.), provide a rationale for their inclusion (why is this needed in the context of group communication), weave the information together, don’t just drop them one in after the other but rather focus on how they are connected. Why is it essential to focus on these concepts in group communication? What will be necessarily added to the literature by looking at these areas?

Draft 2 | Introduction & Conclusion

Please submit the Draft assignment in the correct weekly module. Please only submit a Word document or PDF (Do NOT submit a Pages document).

undefined

The second draft will consist of 3-4 pages of writing, not including references and title page. Begin to craft your introduction

undefined

Introduce the topic, why it is important to examine this topic, how you’re planning on discussing it, and what is the context you’re looking at for your paper. Tell a [cohesive] story, don’t be too broad (e.g. conflict exists in groups), set up the paper’s research approach and impact, make clear the “so what” from the beginning (why does this information even matter), very briefly call out relevant work/contextualize studies if they’re necessary to the readers’ understanding the paper as a whole, concise and clear writing is key in the introduction. Every sentence should mean something, introduce key concepts (define or just mention but make sure it’s brief), note the context of the paper, wrap up with a clear roadmap and aims of the paper. A brief example is presented below (note this is from a research study, which you’re not conducting but it shows how the intro can be set up at the start.

undefined

Draft 3 | Suggestions/Discussion

Draft 3 will be the draft of the Discussion/Suggestions section of your final paper. This draft will consist of 2-3 pages of writing, not including references and title page (if you already received feedback on a title page, you don’t need to include this).

undefined

This draft should include the discussion (what does this mean for your topic as a whole) and the suggestions for successful communication. Specifically, the discussion section should include what your overall findings mean for the larger picture (your lit review shows what others have found and the discussion takes that information and talks about what this means for groups as a whole).

undefined

The suggestions section should describe ways to apply what’s explained in your review and discussion to groups as a whole. How might this be applied in other contexts, what can others take from this and how can it be applied in various roles, how can others benefit from the information, and what specifically do you suggest others do in groups to address the issues/findings? (for example, if you find that most of the research explains that women are under-recognized in group settings, one of your suggestions might be to suggest that leaders and members should both offer opportunities for women in groups to speak up and out in various ways).

undefined

After reviewing the literature, give your own thoughts and insights. What did YOU identify as missing from the literature? What is YOUR rationale for needing to do this specific study? The sections answering these questions usually have fewer citations and more of your own voice and perspectives (still third person). This is where you get to tell readers the bigger picture and answer these questions: What did we learn? What supports previous literature? What contradicts prior work?, What was surprising or confusing?. In this section, you should address a general overview of findings in the first paragraph, break down the information for each context/concept in about a paragraph for what was found in the literature, and provide some practical implications for your information/topic.

In either the same header (if both labeled) or in a different header, you’ll need to provide suggestions for moving forward with this information. What can groups as a whole learn from this information? How can group members improve group dynamics/group characteristics based on the information you’ve found? This can include ways to improve research in this area (e.g., new contexts, new samples, a new perspective, etc.) and/or this can be specific behaviors individuals can do for groups they are part of (e.g., offer more opportunities for diverse members to speak out openly). Be specific and clear in your suggestions and offer details and support for each (don’t just list out your suggestion in one sentence). If you only have one suggestion, this is not enough. You should be aiming for about 3-5+ suggestions.

undefined

You have a bit of freedom here so I’m not outlining 100% what needs to be included here but you have to each section and address both areas.

Individual Research Paper

(10-12 pages); 100 Points

This will be an individual writing assignment where you will use the research from your Annotated Bibliography and the submitted drafts to explain what we know about communication within groups. You will be writing a literature review and suggestions paper (NOT an experiment/research study). In this paper, you are being asked to review the research/literature on your topic by critically assessing the effectiveness of and validity of the content. Instead of evaluating one author or paper, you are to evaluate the topic as a whole using various sources that you have pulled.

You will then provide suggestions for successful communication based on the literature you have read. Each paper will examine a specific concept of group communication (i.e., conflict, groupthink, technology, etc.) and provide specific suggestions for success. Students may choose to refine the scope of their paper by focusing on a certain type of group. Your final paper should include the following sections: Title page, introduction, literature review, discussion (what does this mean for your topic as a whole)/suggestions for successful communication, conclusion, and references.

The breakdown should follow the approximate guidelines:

Title Page – 1 page

Introduction – 1-2 pages

Literature review – 6-7 pages

Suggestions/Discussion – 1-2 pages

Conclusion – 1-2 pages

References – Varies

You will be required to submit your topic plan in advance via the discussion board (5 points). The individual paper will include revisions of the literature review draft and the suggestions draft. You MUST incorporate the revisions of the feedback provided from the individual drafts in order to meet the requirements of a W-course. More details to be provided on HuskyCT.

I have to write a critical analysis for one of my classes. Please advise!

First, you’ll want to prepare by reading all the material thoroughly and thinking about some of the different issues raised in your reading. You’ll want to do what’s called a “critical read” of the material, where you don’t just accept the information, but—after you understand it—you question it. Then, select one of the ideas, which has lingered in your mind because you disagree or are uncomfortable with it, or because you agree with it but believe it needs much more thought. Narrow down your ideas into a

question about this idea that you might want to investigate in your paper. Ask yourself what your feelings are about this issue, and what reasons you might use to support your feelings. If you like what you have come up with, then you are ready to form a preliminary thesis. If you do not like it then go back and consider another question from your reading.

Write down a preliminary thesis statement that specifies your topic, states your ideas about this topic, and suggests the arrangement of your paper’s argument. Make sure you refer back to your reading and choose details that support your arguments. If you use quotations or refer to the text, it should only be to support your own ideas.

Then try writing the first draft and leaving it for a day. Then go back, reread and revise as necessary.
