For your research project due at the end of week 3, you are to take the topic you chose in Week 1 (The Pros and Cons of Foreign (non-military) Aid) and find 5 sources no older than 5 years in the online library on that topic. You will then take those sources and complete an Annotated Bibliography, which is a reference list with 250-word summaries under each source. That is the extent of your project. You will not be writing a formal research paper in this class.
This week, you will find those 5 recent sources and turn in a reference list using the Project Template: POS1041 Project Template
You must use the online library. Click here: http://bit.ly/PSdatabases
Search the databases for articles related to your topic. Vary your terms until you find the articles that interest you. One helpful tip: before you hit the submit button to begin your search using a certain term, check the box that says, “to articles with full text.” This will ensure your results are only full articles.
You must use only the online library for this project. Given some effort, you should be able to find plenty of information on almost any topic. If you do not know how to use the Library, please use the two handouts I’ve linked above.
Find the 5 best peer-reviewed journal articles and maybe one or two newspaper articles from the databases. Please DO NOT use: quotes, encyclopedias, book reviews/article citations (not sources!) or personal opinion.
List the bibliographic information for those 5 articles on the Project Template (available above) or similar format. The shaded boxes are where you list your references.
