Always refer to the assignment instructions for specific guidelines. Remember that instructors may also have particular expectations.</p> <details class="details-transparent-gold-plus"><summary> Discussion Posts </summary> <p>In an online learning environment, discussion postings often serve as key modes of class participation. As a result, these posts are a great way to demonstrate you have read and thought critically about course readings. Although generally shorter and narrower in focus than a traditional essay, discussion posts should be as coherent and scholarly in tone. Think of these posts as a mini-essay, in which you want to have a single central argument and clear evidence to support that argument. It is important to keep length requirements in mind, limiting the scope of your response, so it will remain clear, focused, and relevant to the topic at hand. </p> <h2>Writing a Successful Discussion Post</h2> <h3>1. Read the discussion prompt carefully.</h3> <p>Pay special attention to:</p> <ul> <li><em>Purpose: </em>What question or required reading are you being asked to respond to?</li> <li><em>Particulars: </em>What is the word limit? When is the due date and time? What sources are you expected to draw on?</li> <li><em>Response type:</em> Are you being asked to reflect on personal experience, determine a solution to a problem, compare two ideas, or make an argument?</li> <li><em>Formatting: </em>What formatting has your instructor requested? If no specific formatting is indicated, follow general <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/apa">APA guidelines</a>.</li> <li><em>Expectations: </em>How will your discussion post be assessed? Consult your course materials or instructor.</li> </ul> <h3>2. Prepare adequately.</h3> <ul> <li>Before beginning your post, make sure you have read all of the required readings with a <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/writingprocess/criticalreading">critical eye</a>.</li> <li>Access your instructor's feedback on previous assignments. Based on that feedback, how do you want to improve in this next post?</li> <li>After reading, spend some time jotting down your reactions, ideas, and responses to the reading.</li> <li>Determine one-two of your strongest ideas, which you will structure your response around, by assessing the amount of evidence you have to support a particular assertion, response, or claim.</li> <li>Logically piece together a rough outline of your evidence to make your claim both clear and persuasive.</li> </ul> <h3>3. Construct a draft.</h3> <ul> <li>Discussion post assignments often have multiple questions. Instead of answering each one in order, use a <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/paragraphs/topicsentences">topic sentence</a> to bring all points together into one central argument, claim, or purpose. </li> <li>Use your evidence to build your response and persuade your readers by supporting your claim with course readings or outside sources (if permitted or required).</li> <li>Make sure that each piece of evidence keeps your post focused, relevant, clear, and <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/scholarlyvoice/tone">scholarly in tone</a>.</li> <li>Type in sentence case; in an online environment, ALL CAPS feels like yelling.</li> <li>Make sure you have adequately <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/apa/citations">cited all information or ideas from outside sources</a> in your post and have added a <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/apa/references">full reference</a> at the end.</li> </ul> <h3>4.

By consciously thinking about and comparing issues, life experiences, and course readings, students are better able to understand links between theory and practice and to generate justifiable, well-supported opinions. This kind of writing assignment is meant to be interactive, as students engage with ideas and experiences that bring about questions, comparisons, insights, criticisms, speculations, and tentative conclusions. Although somewhat less formal than essays or other course writing assignments, journal entries should still construct a coherent narrative, use complete sentences, be grammatically correct, and be scholarly in tone. Below are some tips for writing a successful journal entry.</p> <h2>Read the Prompt Carefully</h2> <p>Look for the assignment's purpose, mode of reflection, particulars, and formatting requirements:</p> <ol> <li>Purpose: What questions, life experiences, events, or course readings are you being asked to reflect on?</li> <li>Mode of Reflection: Make sure you know what mode of reflection the writing prompt is asking you use. Are you being asked to compare/contrast, describe, highlight thoughts/feelings, issue opinions (agreement/disagreement), draw conclusions, or ask questions?</li> <li>Particulars: What is the word limit? When is the due date and time? What sources are you expected to draw on?</li> <li>Formatting: What formatting has your instructor requested? If no specific formatting is indicated, follow general <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/apa">APA guidelines</a>.</li> </ol> <h2>Critically Reflect & Organize</h2> <ol> <li>Before beginning to write, make sure you have read all of the required readings with a <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/writingprocess/criticalreading">critical eye</a>.</li> <li>After reading, spend some time jotting down your reactions, ideas, and responses to the reading.  Jot notes down about specific elements, examples, or experiences you would like to include in your journal entry.</li> <li>After you have constructed these notes, choose to write about the ideas that best answer the questions and that you can easily support.</li> <li>Organize these ideas into a clear narrative structure or <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/writingprocess/outlining">outline</a> by logically piecing together your ideas in a way that clearly addresses the instructor’s prompt.</li> </ol> <h2>Construct a Draft</h2> <ol> <li>Although a journal entry does not need a formal thesis sentence, making your central idea clear early on is important.</li> <li>Make sure that you introduce each new idea with a <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/paragraphs/topicsentences">topic sentence</a>. Follow that topic sentence with information or evidence that justifies your opinion, reflection, speculation, criticism, or agreement.</li> <li>Between individual sentences and between complete paragraphs, inserting frequent and appropriate <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/paragraphs/transitions">transitions</a> will help readers easily follow your narrative from one idea to the next.</li> </ol> <h2>Review and Revise</h2> <p>After writing your journal enty, review your ideas by asking yourself:</p> <ol> <li>Is my main idea clear and relevant to the assigned topic?</li> <li>Does my journal entry demonstrate evidence that I have read and thought critically about required readings, experiences, events, or issues?</li> <li>Have I proposed a unique perspective that is supported well?</li> <li>Do I support my claim with required readings or other credible outside sources?</li> <li>Have I used a scholarly tone, complete sentences, and adhered to other specific assignment requirements?</li> <li>Have I self-edited and proofread my response for grammar, style, and structure?</li> </ol> </details> <details class="details-transparent-gold-plus"><summary> Annotated Bibliographies </summary> <h2>Basics of Annotated Bibliographies</h2> <p>An annotated bibliography<em> </em>is a combination of the words "annotation" and "bibliography." An annotation is a set of notes, comments, or critiques. A bibliography is list of references that helps a reader identify sources of information. An annotated bibliography is a list of references that not only identifies the sources of information but also includes information such as a summary, a critique or analysis, and an application of those sources' information.</p> <p>Review our resources on the following pages for more information about each component of an annotated bibliography. As always, read the instructions and any examples in your assignment carefully; some of what follows might not be required in your particular course.</p> <h2>Components of an Annotated Entry</h2> <p>Download the following sample to see the components of an annotated bibliography. Follow the links to more information on formatting, summary, critique/analysis, application, and examples. Note that citations are not necessary in the annotations since the notes are understood to be about the listed source.</p> <p class="center"><a class="button-pill-white-background" href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/ld.php?content_id=16345933" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '5',_st_content_id: '16345933'});" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i></i>Annotated Bibliography Sample Document</a></p> <h3>For more on Annotated Bibliographies review: </h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/annotatedbibliographies/formatting">Formatting</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/annotatedbibliographies/summary">Summary</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/annotatedbibliographies/critique">Critique and Analysis</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/annotatedbibliographies/application">Application</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/annotatedbibliographies/example">Example</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Related Resources</strong>: </p> <ul id="s-lg-link-list-14425841"> <li><a aria-describedby="popover601755" data-content="Watch this webinar to learn about these two types of assignments in academic writing, including strategies for writing a literature review and annotated bibliography and examples of each type of assignment." data-html="true" data-original-title="" data-placement="bottom" data-title="Description" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="hover focus" href="https://academicanswers.waldenu.edu/faq/358647" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '9503276'});" title="">Literature Review and Annotated Bibliography Basics (webinar)</a></li> <li><a data-content="Learn the Writing Center's suggested 3-paragraph organization for an annotated bibliography, as well as ways to avoid common annotated bibliography errors." data-html="true" data-original-title="" data-placement="bottom" data-title="Description" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="hover focus" href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/webinars/graduate#s-lg-box-2773871" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '9503259'});" title="">Annotated Bibliographies (webinar)</a></li> <li><a href="http://waldenwritingcenter.blogspot.com/2019/06/annotated-bibliography-essentials-five.html" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '49260410'});">Annotated Bibliography Essentials (5-part blog series overview)</a></li> </ul> </details> <details class="details-transparent-gold-plus"><summary> Literature Reviews </summary> <h2>Basics of Literature Reviews</h2> <p>A literature review is a written approach to examining published information on a particular topic or field. Authors use this review of literature to create a foundation and justification for their research or to demonstrate knowledge on the current state of a field. This review can take the form of a course assignment or a section of a longer capstone project. Read on for more information about writing a strong literature review!</p> <p>Students often misinterpret the term "literature review" to mean merely a collection of source summaries, similar to annotations or article abstracts. Although summarizing is an element of a literature review, the purpose is to create a comprehensive representation of your understanding of a topic or area of research, such as what has already been done or what has been found. Then, also using these sources, you can demonstrate the need for future research, specifically, your future research.</p> <p>There is usually no required format or template for a literature review. However, there are some actions to keep in mind when constructing a literature review:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Include an <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/writingprocess/introductions">introduction</a> and <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/writingprocess/conclusions">conclusion</a>.</strong> Even if the literature review will be part of a longer document, introductory and concluding paragraphs can act as bookends to your material. Provide background information for your reader, such as including references to the pioneers in the field in the beginning and offering closure in the end by discussing the implications of future research to the field.</li> <li><strong>Avoid direct quotations</strong>. Just like in an annotated bibliography, you will want to <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/evidence/paraphrase">paraphrase</a> all of the material you present in a literature review. This assignment is a chance for you to demonstrate your knowledge on a topic, and putting ideas into your own words will ensure that you are interpreting the found material for your reader. Paraphrasing will also ensure your review of literature is in your authorial voice.</li> <li><strong>Organize by topic or theme rather than by author. </strong>When compiling multiple sources, a tendency can be to summarize each source and then compare and contrast the sources at the end. Instead, organize your source information by your identified themes and patterns. This organization helps demonstrate your synthesis of the material and inhibits you from creating a series of book reports.</li> <li><strong> Use <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writing/apa/headings">headings</a>. </strong>APA encourages the use of headings within longer pieces of text to display a shift in topic and create a visual break for the reader. Headings in a literature review can also help you as the writer organize your material by theme and note any layers, or subtopics, within the field.</li> <li><strong>Show relationships and consider the flow of ideas.</strong> A literature review can be lengthy and dense, so you will want to make your text appealing to your reader. <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/paragraphs/transitions">Transitions</a> and comparison terms will allow you to demonstrate where authors agree or disagree on a topic and highlight your interpretation of the literature.</li> </ol> <h3>For more on Literature Reviews review: </h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/literaturereview/synthesizing">Synthesizing Your Resources</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/literaturereview/commentary">Commentary Versus Opinion</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/literaturereview/matrix">Literature Review Matrix </a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Related Resources:</strong></p> <ul id="s-lg-link-list-10702058"> <li><a aria-describedby="popover884750" data-content="Watch this webinar to learn about these two types of assignments in academic writing, including strategies for writing a literature review and annotated bibliography and examples of each type of assignment." data-html="true" data-original-title="" data-placement="bottom" data-title="Description" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="hover focus" href="https://academicanswers.waldenu.edu/faq/358647" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '9503276'});" title="">Literature Review and Annotated Bibliography Basics (webinar)</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicanswers.waldenu.edu/faq/358675" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '40630890'});">Writing Literature Reviews in Your Graduate Coursework (webinar)</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/webinars/capstone#s-lg-box-2760312" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '9503288'});">Reviewing the Literature and Incorporating Previous Research (webinar)</a></li> <li><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/multimedia/podcast#s-lg-box-2814414" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '9504013'});">WriteCast Episode 19: The Literature Review: Tackling the Hard Questions</a></li> <li><a href="http://waldenwritingcenter.blogspot.com/2017/03/literature-review-essentials-five-part.html" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '39866295'});">Literature Review Essentials: A Five-Part Blog Series (blog post)</a></li> <li><a href="https://waldenwritingcenter.blogspot.com/2012/02/when-is-literature-review-literature.html" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '9504016'});">When is a Literature Review a Literature Review?
