...that professional group, a style that features the date of publication more prominently than other forms of documentation. See the Hodges’ Harbrace Handbook (pp. 652-679***) and the PowerPoint presentation on APA under the Research Writing Resources in the Web Resources section of the ENC 1135 on-line syllabus for details. Since annotated means enhanced or clarified with notes, an annotated bibliography is a list of sources presented with comments on content and usefulness to the research under way. The list must be presented in alphabetical order by the author’s last name or the first word of the title (for a resource that shows no author), regardless of form of the source; that is book, journal, Internet page, and CD-ROM—with author(s) or without Sources—all appear together on one list. Do not number the entries on the References list. The forms for the electronic resources appear accurately and carefully on the Learning Resources pages of the IRCC site, or you may pick up the printed “Documenting Electronic Resources APA STYLE” at the Ft. Pierce campus library and at the sites. Carefully note that the title of an APA bibliography is “References.” All items on the sample list below are pure fiction, as are all comments; they are offered to provide example of proper form. A 750-1000 word APA must have at least three sources, while a 1250-1500 word APA must have at least five sources; to choose the most useful and best sources, a researcher looks in three to...

...Week 1 Hi Class, Use this threat to provide the information above, as the choice for the company you'll be using for your course project. If you do end up using a startup, please make sure you have access to ample resources to support the assignment requirements. While I don't have a problem with some of you using the same company, I would prefer that you don't pick something that you already see that has been chosen. This will allow for more variety. Everything you've been learning has been preparing you for this final project. After you post I will confirm that your choice has been approved. Now, let's have some fun! Words: 110 Strategic Plan Preparation * Not completed (REQUIRED) * Presentation * Strategic Plan Preparation Choose an organization as the focus for the Strategic Plan, due in Week 6. Choose an organization according to the following: * Current employer * Most recent or former employer * Place of business that you have patronized or have been familiar with over a long period of time. Avoid choosing an organization that is so large that historical data would be difficult to apply. Firms in the Russell 2000® index may fit well, whereas firms in the Dow 30 Industrial index probably do not. The organization can be a start-up that you or a significant other may create in the future. For a start-up, focus on an entrepreneurial idea that is of substantive interest, so this project leaves you with a product you...

...Assignment 1: business communication: In this assignment I will explain different types of business information as well as their sources and purposes. My chosen business organisation is B&Q. I have chosen this company because it is a huge business which provides the customers and public with everything they need to re-decorate their home and gardens. B&Q focus mainly on appealing to people who have their own home or individuals who want a change in any room. P1) Verbal communication: Verbal communication such as face to face is the best form of communication because it doesn’t allow any misunderstanding. Face to face communication allows verbal and non verbal messages. For example, when you are talking to your employee any verbal communication which is spoken can be used but non verbal communication such as body language is a good form of communication. This is because you can read somebody’s body language and understand how they are feeling about the situation better they even talk verbally to you. It’s not always practical when running a business or organisation arrange everything by verbal communication or face to face conversations. This is why businesses use other forms of communication for to save time and allow room for the more important things to be arranged face to face. Telephone conversations are always useful because you don’t need to schedule appointments. It’s easier when running a business to have telephone appointments because you might...
