...School of Management & Languages [pic] Referencing and Scholarship Scholarship It is important as a student at university to read as widely as possible around your subject. Your reading might include media and news but should, in particular, be informed by robust academic work. There are a number of primary objectives for academic reading: • To understand a theoretical concept • To develop broader understanding of a subject • To expand applied or practical knowledge of a subject • To understand alternative viewpoints so it is possible to compare and contrast ideas. Textbooks are acceptable reading for introductory courses and early years of study. In later years you will find that textbooks can provide the basis for understanding of an area of study. However, you are also expected to refer to current research published in academic journals. Do not confuse scholarly electronic sources with other kinds of information available on the web. Many web-based sources are useful, for example, the internet has excellent data about organisations (often written by the firms themselves). There is lots of valuable secondary data, such as economic/market/ population/etc. statistics from official and policy bodies. However, there are many dangers with relying on the internet for data. You must therefore use with caution. Examples of poor information on the web are: • open-source information, such as Wikipedia – these have...

School media librarians as transformational leaders (Doctoral dissertation). Available from ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database. (UMI No. 329321) Study Notes: Common APA Style and Formatting Challenges The following guidelines are followed by most faculty members on most Walden coursework, theses, and dissertations. Occasionally, Walden faculty will ask for slight variations on these rules. 1. Font: Use a 12-point serif font, such as Times Roman, Garamond, , Palatino, or Century Schoolbook. Titles, headings, and table titles and copy should also appear in the same 12-point type. 2. Spacing: Double-space all of your work, per guidelines in the 6th edition of the APA style manual. Per APA, you should insert two spaces after a sentence ending period, although many Walden members allow a single space after a period. [A single space is fine for Dr. Mahoney.] For all assignments, be careful that your word processing program does not put extra line spaces before or after paragraphs. You can change that under Page Layout, Paragraph, Spacing for Windows 7. 3. Margins and page numbers: All margins should be 1" from the edge of the paper. Page numbers go in the upper right corner, 1" down and 1" in from the edge of the paper. The first line of text should start 1.5" down. (Note: MS Word defaults the first line of text at 1".) 4. Italics:...

...risen to become one of the most popular forms of communication. Old High School friends living across the country talk every day, and employers keep constant track of their employee’s whereabouts. It’s fascinating what texting has done for our world, but at what cost? In “Tapping into Text Messaging”, Janet Kornblum examines the proposal that texting has hollowed our mental presence. She cites large communication companies as saying that our physical presence and mental presence are often misaligned. It is indeed an intriguing thought, and is observable on a day-to-day basis. Kornblum presents statistics, cites high authorities, and examines the counterargument to create a very compelling argument. One may be quite skeptical when reading Kornblum’s essay, as texting is such a huge part of modern society. However, Kornblum seems to have quite the resume backing up her argument. Janet Kornblum is an award-winning journalist, who specializes in the field of social media. She’s written about social media for publications such as USA Today and CNET, and even trains other people in her field. It’s fair to say she should know what she’s talking about. For the first two pages, Kornblum uses statistical analysis to show the popularity of text messaging. Her essay was written in 2003 and already 45% of American teenagers had a cell phone! It’s plausible to believe that number is around 95% today. In addition she cites the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association for providing...

...Literary Analysis paper Due 25 November Write a 500-word essay in MLA format analyzing Children of Heaven. Be sure to read Chapter 22 “Literary Analysis,” pages 349+. You are not organizing your essay around the plot. Instead, you are organizing it to analyze literary elements. Whereas written literature has style and tone, films have cinematography and sound, including music. For your essay map (which determines your topic sentences and body paragraphs), you may want to look at symbolism, themes, tone (sound), characters, and style (cinematography, including the planning and execution of light and color design, camera position and angle.) If you agree with Bert Cardullo (“Neorealism Iranian Style”) that the film maker subscribes to neorealism—a filmmaking style using real locations, non-professional actors, and simple straightforward stories, then you could reveal how the movie embodies these elements. Make sure that the thesis and essay map stand out as indicating a literary analysis essay and that that the three body paragraphs have clear literary analysis topic sentences. Do not begin body paragraphs with elements of plot. Instead, the topic sentences of each body paragraph should echo elements in the essay map. Also make sure that you use clear transitions, and that you have a significant conclusion. Use MLA format with in-text parenthetical citations in referring to the film itself. You may also want to use periodicals devoted to literary criticism...

...COLT 102 February 13, 2015 K. Calhoon Essay Assignment Write a four-page essay (printed, double-spaced) based on one of the following prompts: • Gwendolyn Brooks’ “The Ballad of Rudolph Reed” presents a sequence of events culminating in Rudolph Reed’s death. Canto 33 of Dante’s Inferno presents a similar sequence in which the death of Ugolino’s sons and eventually Ugolino himself is described. Look at these two texts carefully. Compare and contrast the ways in which Brooks’ and Dante’s language develop this crescendo of despair. Note: We are not asking you to tell us what happens but how words work to create expectations, foster tension, etc. • In his “Open Letter on Translation,” Martin Luther faults his detractors for their literalism. Explain Luther’s position, and discuss it in relation to Dante’s Inferno, using examples from the latter text to illustrate where the ability to differentiate between the spirit and the letter matters. • Shakespeare’s Henry IV and Molière’s The Bourgeois Gentleman are very different plays. Both, however, are rich in comedy. Each also contains a play within a play. Compare them with respect to this particular aspect. Analyze each play within a play, and use this as an opportunity to reflect on the nature of comedy as such. Please make use of Aristotle’s Poetics as a possible guide in your discussion. • We have dealt extensively with gesture in the course of our discussions, observing how, in plays such as Molière’s The...
