Task Description
The annotated bibliography is a common genre in several academic disciplines because it provides a way to compile and takes notes on—that is, annotate—resources that are potentially useful in a research project. Annotated bibliographies are essentially lists of citations, formatted in a consistent documentation style, that include concise summaries of source material. Some annotated bibliographies include additional commentary about the sources—perhaps evaluations of their usefulness for the research project or comments about how the sources complement one another within the bibliography (perhaps by providing multiple perspectives).

You will write an annotated bibliography that seeks to find sources that will help you respond a specific research question. You should develop a research question and remember to try to choose a topic that genuinely interests you and you can find plenty of information online. Perhaps something related to your field of study or an issue in your discipline. Remember to choose a controversial issue so that you can analyze two sides of the argument. This website lists some interesting examples
Examples like: Recreational marijuana, animal testing, gun control, illegal immigration, death penalty, and so forth. You can choose any controversial topic that you want but clear it with me first.
Rationale

• Purpose: An annotated bibliography is an organizing tool that is helpful when working on a research project. An effective annotated bibliography is used to compile research sources in one location and provide the researcher with quick access to the information contained in each source.
• Audience: This assignment should be directed at your scholarly peers, and you may assume that they have only a casual familiarity with your topic or issue.
• Content/subject: Your annotated bibliography will consist of the sources that you have deemed relevant to your topic and/or question(s) of inquiry. While you may encounter sources that are not relevant or do not fit the scope of your project while researching, for the purposes of this assignment, you will only include the ones that you find useful and relevant.

o Cite the source in proper MLA/APA format. The citations should be organized in alphabetical order by author just as in an MLA/APA References page.
o Follow with a brief annotation that summarizes the source (approx. 3-6 sentences). You may quote from the source, but do not copy and paste the abstract. Ideally, all of the annotation should be in your own words.
o In 2-3 sentences, explain the source’s relevance, importance to your issue, and how it connects to other sources.

Essential Requirements (things to include in the annotated bibliography)
● An introduction that clearly states your research question and describes the scope of your annotated bibliography.
● 5 to 8 sources (depending on the scope of the sources and the number of perspectives you want to represent), organized alphabetically. If you choose a different organization (e.g., topical), explain how you have organized your annotated bibliography in the introduction.
● At least 2 of those sources must be from peer-reviewed academic articles. The other ones can be newspaper articles, films, etc)
● An annotation for each source that includes:
• A summary (3-6 sentences) of the source that gives a concise description of the main findings, focused on what is most important for responding to your research question.
• Relevant information about the authors or sponsors of the source to indicate credibility, bias, perspectives, and so forth.
• An indication of what this source brings to your annotated bibliography that is unique and/or how it connects to the other sources.
• A citation in a consistent documentation style

Format Requirements
● Your project should be formatted in 12-pt. font with 1-inch margins.
● Your project should follow MLA format (or APA)

In our commercially saturated world, we are hit with persuasive messages every day to buy this thing, take this medication (and ignore the list of side effects), go to this place, wear this pair of shoes. Every website that we visit has advertisements in the margins, blocking our view of what we clicked on the page to look at. Billboards, magazines, celebrities are all screaming for our undivided attention and money. More and more of our consciousness is taken up by companies wanting our money to become their market share. How we are persuaded is researched and used to gain our trust, our participation, and our loyalty to the brand. But how are subtle, and not-so-subtle, methods used to entice us?

think about the last time you were in a position to make an important decision in which someone was in a position to persuade you. Which of the six methods were overtly expressed, and which did you only recognize after watching the video? Describe the event in some detail, and describe how the methods were used. Review the section in the textbook on resisting persuasion and discuss which methods you used to turn down the volume on the sales pitch, and which you would be likely to use in the future. And finally, where are you vulnerable to persuasion? Is it name brands that you find irresistible? Celebrity endorsements? Well documented and presented research? Describe what gets to you and why.

Construction and Sustainable Technologies

Coursework 1 Brief

Clear statement of the work that students are expected to undertake:

This coursework will assess your understanding of construction technology and environmental impact in the application of sustainability criteria to the workplace. It has been designed to provide students with an opportunity to develop their ability to critically evaluate an office/space within an existing building. In the first phase ascertain and evaluate the construction of the workspace identifying factors to be considered when evaluation environmental sustainability.

(In the second phase of the work -Coursework 2- you will make recommendations on potential alterations/mitigation for any adverse impacts.)

Please complete the following task:

Prepare a physical and environmental appraisal of your workplace:

Identify describe and appraise the building design, construction, materials and the mechanical and electrical services in a commercial workplace. Discus the factors to be considered when carrying out an environmental appraisal of the office space. You should also include the property/building in the context of its site and its location within a wider environment/locale having regard to accessibility and environmental impacts from transport/commuting

Additional Instructions to students:

To provide an environmental assessment of the workplace you will need to review the relevant literature on construction, materials and services as well as environmental assessments by referring to good construction and environmental practices in standard texts, published literature as well as current issues in professional reports.

There are a number of certification schemes/environmental assessment tools available across the world that you might want to consider and utilise some aspects of one or more to give you a framework for your report. These include, but are not limited to, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the Building Research Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM).

Further Information

Learning Outcomes assessed in this assessment:

• Critically examine recent and current construction technologies across domestic and commercial applications.
• Critically evaluate passive low carbon design techniques and their application in current construction to meet the regulatory environment and the aspirations of the market.

• Understand the concepts of sustainability and apply them to the built environment

Assessment Criteria/Mark Scheme:

Clarity, grammar, professional format and layout, referencing & bibliography 10%

Identification and evaluation of building design, materials and services and location 45%

Discussion of the factors to be considered in respect of an environmental evaluation 45%

Referencing Style:
APA 6th edition or Harvard Northumbria
