Understanding the Research Report Literature Review
Your assignment requires you to gather sources, group them according to their themes or positions on a topic, and synthesize (blend the ideas in your sources) together in what is called a literature review.
To get you started on this task, here's an exercise for you to do:
Please watch the following short video from UMUC's Information and Library Services unit on how to write an annotated bibliography:
How to Write an Annotated Bibliography
https://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/bibliography_tutorial.cfm
After watching the video, please access the articles, "Communication: The Key to a Manager's Success"; "On the Page: Listening: the Foundation"; "The Art of Asking Questions" via the eReserves section in Course Content. To access the articles, please take the following steps:
• click Content
• select Class Resources
• select eReserves
• select the icon for eReserves in the middle of your page.
• in the list of items that appears, locate these articles and download them.
Imagine that these are three of your articles for your literature review. Please complete the following in responding to this discussion thread.
1. List the article in APA format, as the UMUC tutorial video describes.
2. Write a 100 word annotation of each article in which you not only summarize each article but also evaluate its theme (the main point the article tries to make).
3) Once you have your annotations done, post a paragraph in which you discuss the three sources and how they are related or not related to each other. You should also list the three articles in correct APA reference list documentation style.
Again, you are not necessarily using these articles in your literature review. and you will not necessarily write about Communication Skills for Managers for your research report assignment. However, this exercise is designed to help you become familiar with listing a source in APA format and with writing an evaluative annotation for it that you can use as the basis for discussions of articles with similar themes in your literature review.
