This week, you will submit an annotated bibliography.
Your annotated bibliography consists of four annotated sources; two for each side of the debatable topic. For each source, include:
- An APA style formatted entry for each source
- A summary: What is the main message of this source?
- Evaluation: Why is this a credible source? Why is this author credible?
- Relevance: How will this source contribute to your research?
- Quote: Write down a quote from this source that you plan to use in your informative paper.
Please follow the Annotated Bibliography instructions closely.
Be sure to include your Research Question; otherwise, I will not know what your topic is.
Here is a visual example of what it should look like. (Note this students full bibliography was seven pages.)
Topic: Should universities be liable for failing to properly investigate sexual harassment accusations? Green, E. L. (2020, May 6). De Vos’s rules bolster rights of students accused of sexual misconduct. The New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/06/us/politics/ campus-sexual-misconduct-betsy-devos.html?auth=login-google. Summary: The Obama Administration observed a recurring pattern of complaints regarding sexual misconduct in schools; however, the schools were mishandling the issues and didn’t fol- low the Title IX regulations. Schools are required to investigate sexual misconduct accusations thathaveoccurredatschoolpropertyorstudentorganizationbuildingsandarefollowedupby jurisdiction, however, those rules don’t apply for the students studying abroad and events that happen off-campus. The new and final regulations aid those who have experienced sexual ha- rassment, violence, or assault which means shouldn’t have to confront their assailant; instead, allowing the lawyers and advisers to handle and take care of the situation. Evaluation: This source is credible considering Erica L. Green is a reliable is a journalist who reveals news on the U.S. Department of Education and the secretary of education, Betsy De Vos. She has done many reports on education, and mainly writes about educational equality; addition- ally, she has achieved first place at the Education Writers Association’s in 2018 National Rewards for Education Reporting. She has written many topics on education such as, discrimina- tion in schools, school violence, journals covering school funding, and sexual harassment accu- sations. Green investigated many different schools, wanting and bringing justice and fairness for all schools.
Relevance: This source supports why colleges and universities shouldn’t be liable for investigat- ing sexual harassment accusations due to schools only being obligated to investigate those who have filed through a certain formal process. This source explains the idea that, until the case has ended, schools aren’t allowed to give consequences or take disciplinary actions on the student that was aceused of sexual harassment. However, schools are allowed to expel any student who present a risk to the campus or school community. Quote: “The rules also limit the complaints that schools are obligated to investigate to only those filed through a formal process and brought to the attention of officials with the authority to take corrective action, not other authority figures like residential advisers.” (Green, 2020). US Department of Education (ED). (2020, January 10). Sexual harassment guidance. Home. https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/sexhar00.html. Summary: The following source from the US Department of Education contains a sexual ha- rassment guide for all schools worldwide. The Office for Civil Rights have observed the amount of sexual harassment accusations they’ve received through students about other fellow students; unexpectedly, school staff and employees as well. One of the most important and first priorities of the Office of Civil Rights is to try and abolish all sexual harassment and discrimination occurring at schools amongst students. Both male and female experience sexual- harassment; therefore it is important for follow the Guidance because it can hinder and give a negative result to their academic performance. Evaluation: The US Department of Education is a reliable and credible source considering my research paper is about handling sexual harassment accusations in colleges and universities. This
