Week 5 Workshop
Annotated Reference Lists
Student Materials
-------------------------------------------------
Learning Outcomes: * Identify the referencing format for various genres of literature. * Compile a reference list for various genres of literature. * Summarise relevant data in a resource. * Identify and record the usefulness of resources for a given assessment task.
Rationale: * Acknowledging sources is an important part of good written communication skills. At university, students who do not cite in-text or include the full bibliographical details will be investigated for academic misconduct. At work, employers are increasingly requiring staff to acknowledge resources so that they can refer to the original source and meet accreditation requirements for professional bodies. * Summarising data is another key element of good written communication skills. At university, students are required to summarise literature and case studies. At work, employers want employees to summarise documents and include executive summaries in reports. * Once students are able to identify what a resource is about they are then able to critically evaluate the more detailed information contained within.
Required Reading: * Textbook, Chapter 6 Harvard documentation * Textbook, Chapter 7 Evaluating and paraphrasing resources

Workshop Discussion 1: Annotated Reference Lists
Annotated reference lists
As with a normal reference list or bibliography, an annotated reference list is usually arranged alphabetically according to the author’s last name, however, the reference list for the Researching assessment task is organised by genre and the annotation should be about 60 words per citation. Each entry begins with the bibliographic details of the resource (the citation), followed by a brief annotation summarising the appropriate content and identifying relevant information, data and arguments and stating how it will be used to address the assessment question.
Referencing
Referencing within the context of academic writing performs two distinct purposes. Firstly, it provides an acknowledgement (the combination of an in-text citation within the body of the essay or report and an entry in the ‘References’ section of the essay or report) that the information source or work was used by the writer in creating their own piece of academic writing or work. Secondly, it allows another person who is reading this writer’s work to easily find this particular information source. With regard to the second purpose, although the formats of references change for different information sources, there are usually common features as well, such as:
Author(s) surname(s) and initials
Year that the work was published
The title of the work
The publisher or title of the publication
These common features can be identified in the book example shown below:
Title of book in minimal capitalisation
Title of book in minimal capitalisation
Place (city) of publication

References must be listed alphabetically by the first author’s surname under the Harvard UWS system of referencing. The reference list should not use numbers, letters or bullet points at the beginning of each entry.
Summaries
A summary is a short and concise representation of main points, ideas, concepts, facts or statements. When summarising you should not alter the author's original idea(s) or the degree of certainty with which the ideas are expressed. To write a good summary, you should read the text a number of times to develop a clear understanding of the author's ideas and intentions, the meaning and details and the force with which the ideas are expressed.
To write a summary: 1. Write notes in point form using specialised words as this will make it easier to express the ideas in your own words. Specialised words is what the text is actually about and need to be included in your summary, as without these words, the meaning of the summary will change completely. 2. Write the summary directly from your notes without re-reading the passage. 3. Refer back to the original source to ensure that your summary is a true reflection of the writer's ideas.
When summarising a chapter or article, the introduction and conclusion should provide a good overview of the content as well as the topic sentences which provide a quick outline of the main idea(s) presented in each paragraph. Brief annotations
When writing a brief summary for an annotation, only the information relevant to the topic or assessment task should be included. That is, if the assessment task limits your investigation to the past ten years but your article covers a 50 year span, then your summary should focus on the past ten years.
Identifying specific information relevant to the assessment task is also important. Therefore, refer back to your question analysis and mind map to create links between the summary information and how the data will be used to address the assessment.
Note: Do not forget to record the bibliographical details (reference) and page number(s) so that you can refer back to the information at a later date. Example Annotated Reference List

Workshop Activity 1: Annotated Reference List
Compile an annotated reference list (45 minutes)
Working in groups, use the workshop readings to create an annotated reference list. Each reference should include the bibliographic details (the citation) and a brief two-part annotation summarising the relevant content and identifying specific information within the text and highlighting how it would be used to address the assessment question. Each annotation should be no more than 60 words for both parts.
Workshop question: Evaluate the need for business ethics in a global economy.

Week 5 Workshop
Annotated Reference Lists
Student Materials
-------------------------------------------------
Learning Outcomes: * Identify the referencing format for various genres of literature. * Compile a reference list for various genres of literature. * Summarise relevant data in a resource. * Identify and record the usefulness of resources for a given assessment task.
Rationale: * Acknowledging sources is an important part of good written communication skills. At university, students who do not cite in-text or include the full bibliographical details will be investigated for academic misconduct. At work, employers are increasingly requiring staff to acknowledge resources so that they can refer to the original source and meet accreditation requirements for professional bodies. * Summarising data is another key element of good written communication skills. At university, students are required to summarise literature and case studies. At work, employers want employees to summarise documents and include executive summaries in reports. * Once students are able to identify what a resource is about they are then able to critically evaluate the more detailed information contained within.
Required Reading: * Textbook, Chapter 6 Harvard documentation * Textbook, Chapter 7 Evaluating and paraphrasing resources

Workshop Discussion 1: Annotated Reference Lists
Annotated reference lists
As with a normal reference list or bibliography, an annotated reference list is usually arranged alphabetically according to the author’s last name, however, the reference list for the Researching assessment task is organised by genre and the annotation should be about 60 words per citation. Each entry begins with the bibliographic details of the resource (the citation), followed by a brief annotation summarising the appropriate content and identifying relevant information, data and arguments and stating how it will be used to address the assessment question.
Referencing
Referencing within the context of academic writing performs two distinct purposes. Firstly, it provides an acknowledgement (the combination of an in-text citation within the body of the essay or report and an entry in the ‘References’ section of the essay or report) that the information source or work was used by the writer in creating their own piece of academic writing or work. Secondly, it allows another person who is reading this writer’s work to easily find this particular information source. With regard to the second purpose, although the formats of references change for different information sources, there are usually common features as well, such as:
Author(s) surname(s) and initials
Year that the work was published
The title of the work
The publisher or title of the publication
These common features can be identified in the book example shown below:
Title of book in minimal capitalisation
Title of book in minimal capitalisation
Place (city) of publication
Place (city) of publication

References must be listed alphabetically by the first author’s surname under the Harvard UWS system of referencing. The reference list should not use numbers, letters or bullet points at the beginning of each entry.
Summaries
A summary is a short and concise representation of main points, ideas, concepts, facts or statements. When summarising you should not alter the author's original idea(s) or the degree of certainty with which the ideas are expressed. To write a good summary, you should read the text a number of times to develop a clear understanding of the author's ideas and intentions, the meaning and details and the force with which the ideas are expressed.
To write a summary: 1. Write notes in point form using specialised words as this will make it easier to express the ideas in your own words. Specialised words is what the text is actually about and need to be included in your summary, as without these words, the meaning of the summary will change completely. 2. Write the summary directly from your notes without re-reading the passage. 3. Refer back to the original source to ensure that your summary is a true reflection of the writer's ideas.
When summarising a chapter or article, the introduction and conclusion should provide a good overview of the content as well as the topic sentences which provide a quick outline of the main idea(s) presented in each paragraph. Brief annotations
When writing a brief summary for an annotation, only the information relevant to the topic or assessment task should be included. That is, if the assessment task limits your investigation to the past ten years but your article covers a 50 year span, then your summary should focus on the past ten years.
Identifying specific information relevant to the assessment task is also important. Therefore, refer back to your question analysis and mind map to create links between the summary information and how the data will be used to address the assessment.
Note: Do not forget to record the bibliographical details (reference) and page number(s) so that you can refer back to the information at a later date. Example Annotated Reference List

The author of the article “Will the Web Kill Colleges”, Zephyr Teachout states that students don’t have to be in a classroom to be able to ask questions or to learn.

I have realized that there is not just one key concept that works for me. In fact I am sure that is a combination of all of them that will make me a better candidate for the business world. The two that I will use the most will have to be Unit 2, Manage your Time and Stress, and Unit 7, Goals and Planning. By learning how to manage my time and stress better will allow me to become a better part of the business community. In this manner by reducing my stress will allow me to better focus on the important aspects that need my attention. Learning how to manage my time came from the help of my family by allowing me to have time to myself to focus on my studies every day. Another great help has been the proper use my daily planner. It has been a great contribution to my success in this class. I will be using my planner for all my classes and I am also using it for work. This is a great course for me because it is the first class I have taken since graduating high school 15 years ago. The things that I learned in Unit 6, Academic Writing, will be great use for my next class which is Writing Composition. I will be taking what I have learned from this course and apply it to my next, and so on and so on. From Unit 7 came setting forth my short term and long term goals. I learned how to use the S.M.A.R.T. goal planning technique. I learned that using a series of short term goals helps me to achieve my long term goal. This works for me because if I can see progress and it is easier for me to stay on track and achieve the long term goal. So many times I have set myself a goal and never accomplished it because I could not see the progress and lost interest. There were a lot of other units that will come in use during the rest of my tenure here at Kaplan University, everything from critical thinking and research to scheduling and conducting an interview.
