代写 Monash APG5050 Annotated Bibliography

APG5050 – Description – Assessment Tasks 1 & 2. Annotated Bibliography – Journal Articles Research Report Updated February 2016 These assessment tasks are related. They aim to encourage you to engage with current or recent research presented in Communication & Media Studies journals (see ‘Presentation’ below for a Library Guide on Communications & Media that identifies relevant journals). The first part – an annotated bibliography – asks you to summarise 10 journal articles. The second part – a report – asks you to give a detailed description of 5 journal articles. Your chosen articles may overlap (ie you can use the same articles in part 2 as you have summarised in Part 1), however you must not copy from the first task to complete aspects of second. The report must present new material. Criteria for marking : •  A critical and practical understanding of task and topic •  Appropriate number and choice of sources •  Clear summary of selected sources •  Critical evaluation of selected sources •  Finished copy of high editorial standard •  Consistency and accuracy in bibliographic style Assessment Task 1: Annotated Bibliography 15% Word limit: 2000 Deadline: Week 3 Thursday March 24, 4pm (submit as paper copy). Details of task: Prepare an annotated bibliography on a topic of your choice related to communication and media studies, consisting of ten (10) entries. A list of possible topics is also included below (p2). An annotated bibliography includes a reference (using the Harvard style) and a short summary for each article. This exercise will assist you to identify, summarise and evaluate relevant academic sources. It requires you to summarise and evaluate arguments and concepts in academic texts. You may want to review the essay questions in Assessment Task 3 and use them as a guide for topics. You will have 10 entries of academic sources identified from your own research using Monash Library databases. Annotations for each entry should be 200 words maximum (not including the reference). Examples of annotated bibliographies will be provided. Requirements: You must use Communication and Media journals as your sources. You are to focus on academic sources, ie articles that have been peer-reviewed and published in an edited scholarly journal. If you are unsure about what journals are appropriate, use the lists provided in the Library Guide for Communications and Media (note: while these lists include some ‘trade’ journals as well as academic journals; you should only use academic journals). Presentation - format is important, please follow these instructions: • First, provide the reference for the article you will summarise. (Note: the reference is not included in the word limit). Consistent and accurate use of referencing conventions is important. As noted above, the Harvard referencing style is the required style for this unit. (see Library guidelines – http://guides.lib.monash.edu/citing-referencing/harvard). • Next, add your annotation (ie a summary of the article) below the reference. Each annotation will be between 150-200 words in length. • Check your formatting, which needs to be: 1.5 line spacing, 12pt font, 2cm margins. • Do not leave references/heading hanging at the bottom of the page. Keep the reference and annotation text together APG5050 – Description – Assessment Tasks 1 & 2. Annotated Bibliography – Journal Articles Research Report Updated February 2016 Assessment Task 2: Journal Articles Report 15% Word limit: 2000 Due date: Friday, April 8, 4pm (paper copy) Details of task: This task aims to develop your ability to analyse and discuss research information that has been sourced from Communication & Media Studies journals. Choose 5 journal articles on a related topic to your focus for Assessment Task 1 (usually this mean the topics will have at least one common keyword) and read the articles carefully. As noted above, the articles for this task may be the overlap with articles chosen for the bibliography. Requirements: First, list the 5 articles using the Harvard system (not included in the word count). Then, in a short essay (2000 words) report on what you have found through your reading. You should include a short introduction that identifies how the articles are related to the overall topic. Following the introduction, analyse and discuss your chosen articles paying careful attention to the following: • What are the methodologies identified in the articles? How are they similar or different? • What is the problem that the research is attempting to address (some examples of problems you may encounter are: how audiences respond to texts? How producers manage influences on their practices? How texts mean for general or particular audiences? • How is previous research positioned in the articles? Do the authors draw from seminal texts in the field? Do they develop a counter argument to other researchers identified in the article. • In general, what conclusions are drawn in the articles with regards to the topic? Are there consistent points or divergences? What are the implications for how you might consider the topic in the future (ie what have you learnt from the readings)? Topic Suggestions: [Remember, your articles must be from academic Communication & Media Studies journals] Film and media Social media and communication Media and privacy Communication research and ‘big data’ television and sexuality radio and podcasting regulating the internet Communication and media regulation Communication and digital media Communication media and audience theory Broadcasting and post-broadcasting Digital media, audiences and sentiment mining If you are unsure about your topic selection please see the Course coordinator or your tutor at the earliest opportunity.
