Annotations Assignment
Because it is very important that you gain an understanding
of the issues and challenges of multimedia and the role of technology
in the world today, you are to read fifteen (15) current articles (post 2005) on topics of the course and write an annotation for each article. Each annotation must be descriptive (no personal opinions) and be a maximum of 50 words. You will
cite the article using the APA format (see APA Guide from the Northern Michigan University Library, University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign APA Citation Styles Handbook, Electronic Reference Formats Recommended by the American Psychological Association, and/or Examples of APA-style citations. Each article chosen should
reflect the topic for the week and should be done by the date assigned
(see Course Outline). Each annotation will be worth one (1) point toward
your final grade (total of 15%).
The annotations should be posted on your personal website for LSC 529. You may use my suggestions
to resubmit any with grades less than one to raise the grade to one point for the first four annotations only.
The last eleven annotations cannot be upgraded from a grade less
than one but you will be expected to make the suggested changes on your
website.
All annotations must be submitted by May 2, 2011. When all have been submitted, you will be given a cummulative grade for the overall quality of the articles used. This grade (5%) will be based on the appropriateness of the articles to the topic for the week, the depth of the articles (not all one page articles), the variety of journals used, and the overall quality of the annotations you have written.
