...Annotated Bibliographies Annotated bibliographies describe, give publication information for, and sometimes evaluate each work on a list of sources. When we do research, we may consult annotated bibliographies to evaluate potential sources. In this course, you will also be assigned to create annotated bibliographies to weigh the potential usefulness of your sources and to document your search efforts so that your instructor can access your ability to find, describe, and evaluate sources. There are tow kinds of annotations, descriptive and evaluative; both may be brief, consisting only of phrases, or more formal, consisting of sentences and paragraphs. For the purpose of this class we will be using the more formal style, since we are using this writing to fulfill your writing requirement Evaluative Annotations Key Features in Annotated Bibliographies A statement of scope. You need a brief introductory statement to explain what you’re covering with your particular topic with several paragraphs announcing your purposes for the topic and the bibliography.

...last century. These threats have forced the hand in researching and developing alternative technologies to maximize the potential of renewable energy sources. The requirement to reduce harmful emissions, toxins and pollutants needs to be a main concern. The ongoing change of this world deserves a modified stance on how it needs to be guarded. This world needs to shift priorities in order to develop alternative energy sources further so reliance on fossil fuels will decrease to prevent any additional environmental ruin. A key approach to alleviating the process of the evolving global warming issue is to reduce the GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions released in to the environment. Global warming causes a slow increase in the temperature worldwide. The continued temperature increase will cause drastic ecological changes affecting the world. According to Mckibben from Sojourners Magazine, “Global warming isn't happening slowly, and it's not a problem (just) for the future. We've already burned enough coal and gas and oil to increase the temperature more than a degree, and this has already caused enormous changes across the planet: Arctic sea ice is melting very fast, along with almost every other frozen thing on the planet. Because warm air holds more water vapor than cold, we're seeing far more deluge and flood. People are dying already, and species are going extinct.” Burning fossil fuels is having a major ecological impact on...

... Page 3 Annotated Bibliography Page 4 Introduction Page 6 Fear of an Apocalypse Page 7 Conclusion Page 13 Abstract People have many fears in the world whether it be heights, bugs, death, etc. I fear an apocalypse, just knowing that one day all we have come to love and enjoy can be gone in an instant. I fear that happening and the many different things that can cause the end of the world. Some people fear the end of the world and others don’t really care about it. I know for me if there were zombies coming after me or any other scenario I wouldn’t know what to do. I have wrote about each individual scenario that could cause the end of the world. I talked about how each one affects us. Some people fear an apocalypse so much they have either killed themselves over it or even dwell on it so much their life becomes surrounded by it. I wouldn’t say my life is surrounded by it, but just knowing something, anything, could happen is scary. I feel all the different scenarios are real and I fear every last one of them.

...Research Paper EN 102 Climate Change – Global Warming Climate change has become really important for the whole world due to its drastic change, because of the release of carbon dioxide and other gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. The climate on Earth has always been a subject of change. From history we know that there was an ice age on the planet Earth that ended about 10,000 years ago. The time has passed; “people have developed advanced industry, and technology, discovered fossil fuels and the very effective way of using them by turning them into heat, transportation, and the basis for manufacturing and construction” (Global Climate Change.) That has changed the world forever for all of us. What are the fossil fuels? “In general, fossil fuels are a legacy bequeathed to us by the biosphere of the distant past.” Basically, on an ancient Earth existed a high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. There also existed photosynthetic organisms that were able to absorb CO2 and produce plentiful organic material. When these organisms died, they were buried deep within the earth and slowly turned into coal and oil, and now they are presenting the fossil fuels (Global Climate Change). Since the 1800s the usage and burn of the fossil fuels has been increasing in order to power the developing technological and global civilizations. As a result of burning the fossil fuels there has been a huge release of the CO2 back into the atmosphere, increasing the atmospheric...

...This pack contains tasks for discussion in lectures and tasks for preparation and discussion in tutorials. Please refer to the lecture PowerPoint slides to understand the purpose of these tasks in the lectures. Lecture 2 Task Standing on the shoulders of giants: Summarising and Paraphrasing Sources A researcher is investigating how different universities approach the issue of academic integrity. He has found the following case study on the website of iParadigms, which developed the software package Turnitin for plagiarism detection. He decides he wants to use some of the information in the report. Strengthening Honour Codes through Plagiarism Detection[1] Academic integrity was suffering at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Each of the university’s schools had an ethics committee to investigate charges of academic dishonesty, but there was no uniformity in how standards were applied or enforced. There was also no mechanism for sharing information between schools regarding serial cheaters. And because it was faculty-run, the students had little investment in the system and therefore took it lightly. To address these shortcomings, the University reinvented their approach to honour codes on campus. Instead of faculty-run ethics committees for each school, they established a Student Honor Code Council, serving the entire campus, which was responsible for writing the honor code and evaluating cases of honour code violations. The university administration, faculty...

...around the world. Gasoline powered vehicles utilize an internal combustion power train. Power train refers to the group of components within the vehicle that generates power. Internal combustion engines are typically associated with gasoline even though variations of the internal combustion engine can be fueled by other sources. The mainstream alternative to gasoline is diesel fuel. History of gasoline vehicles Self-propelled vehicles have been around since 1672 but were not introduced to mainstream America until 1902. Older vehicles were powered by steam engines, which gave way to the internal combustion engines that are powered by either gasoline or diesel fuel. Diesel fuel and gasoline both cause air pollution and play a role in global warming. The ever increasing cost of oil along with the restrictions on greenhouse gases and environmental laws is now pressing the world to create safe alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel. Green vehicles A green vehicle is any car, bus, or mode of transportation that uses alternative fuel sources. Fossil fuels were once thought to be a convenient fuel source, discovered after alternative fuel was already...

...IRAQ-KUWAIT War Negotiation Style and Frameworks by Steven Roberts A case study that shows how important it is to consider whether or not to accept concessions (nhượng bộ đất đai) by taking a reasonable perspective and framework. | Bottom of Form On a scorching (nắng cháy) summer day in August, 1990, the citizens of Kuwait stared in puzzlement (tình trạng rối bời) at the encroaching (xâm phạm), dusty streams of what appeared to be a pending desert sandstorm, creeping ominously (đáng ngại) towards them from across the forbidding dessert. To their dismay (mất tinh thần) and horror filled eyes, the quaking (kinh hãi) citizenry (toàn thể công dân) had become helpless witnesses to the advancing units of Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi army, relentlessly engaged in the illegal invasion of their homeland. There had been no warning of this pending disaster. Kuwaiti resistance was swept aside much like one casually brushes away a crumb from one’s lapel. (sự kháng cự của Kuwait đã bị đánh bật như phủi sạch hạt bụi trên ve áo) After six days, Hussein declared that he had annexed (thôn tính) Kuwait. The world was stunned (sưungr sốt) by Hussein’s audacity(trơ trẽn táo bạo), and the Middle East became very anxious about what the future may hold for this unsettled region. By August 30, the Arab League, called by President Mubarak of Egypt, attempted to defuse (xoa dịu) this potentially explosive crisis through deft negotiation. (khôn khéo) The Arab League proposed to Hussein that if he would...
