creating a research log that contains 5 different sources for the research question using goolge and college database. And then creating annotation
To do:
For this week, submit an updated, research log with at least 5 entries (5 different sources). Your log should show that you’ve used several different strategies to demonstrate what you have learned in the class. Also, be sure to include several different search tools. Do not use only Google, or you will lose points.
This is your chance to show you are on the right track, and get feedback that will help you in the final. You will be graded not only on the completeness of the log, but the variety and types of sources, as well as the variety of search tools and strategies you are logging. You will also be graded on your ability to distinguish between sources (show what each one provides that is unique and distinct from the rest). Refer to the rubric to understand how this will be graded.
You don’t have to use all of these sources in your final, but it is a good idea to keep the end goal in mind.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeResearch Log format and components
|
| 5.0 to >3.0 pts
Excellent
Includes all of the components in the example (date, citation, tool used, strategy used, notes or quotes/ideas, link). Format or structure is easy to read. Includes five log entries.
|
3.0 to >2.0 pts
Acceptable
Includes all of the components in the example. Format or structure needs some work to be easy to read. May not have five entries in the log.
|
2.0 to >0 pts
Needs Work
Does not include all the components or shows significant struggle with using the research log as intended.

|
5.0 pts

|
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeTools and Strategies used for searching
|
| 5.0 to >3.0 pts
Excellent
Variety of search tools are used. Search strategies demonstrate evidence of learning the techniques introduced in this class. Combination of tools and strategies shows improvement from the original log.
|
3.0 to >2.0 pts
Acceptable
Variety of search tools are used. Strategies may be unclear, or repetitive, or do not show sufficient learning of techniques from this class.
|
2.0 to >0 pts
Needs Work
There may be little to no variety in the search tools used, OR the search strategies are poor and don’t reflect any techniques from this class.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeTypes and Variety of sources
|
| 5.0 to >3.0 pts
Excellent
Variety of sources are included. The types of sources are appropriate quality for the research question. Source types demonstrate the results of trying different strategies and tools.
|
3.0 to >2.0 pts
Acceptable
Variety of sources are included. The types of sources don’t reflect sufficient effort in the search strategies, OR the types of sources are not appropriate quality level for the research question.
|
2.0 to >0 pts
Needs Work
There may be little to no variety in the sources, or the types of sources used are very repetitive or represent very poor choices in terms of quality.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeNotes, Evaluation and Quotes for sources
|
| 5.0 to >3.0 pts
Excellent
Notes/evaluation shows careful thought about the potential use of each source. Distinctions are made. Not all sources serve the same purpose. Direct quotes are indicated as such or separated from student notes.
|
3.0 to >2.0 pts
Acceptable
Notes/evaluation shows some level of thought, but sources aren’t distinct enough or many seem to have the same purpose. Notes may need clarification or elaboration.
|
2.0 to >0 pts
Needs Work
It may be hard to determine what’s what between notes and quotes. Student may not be demonstrating the distinctions between sources or not demonstrating evidence of thought about each source.

Submit TWO (2) draft annotations that you would potentially include in your final project. Use the correct citation format (APA style (Links to an external site.)) for the citations. In the annotations, follow the same criteria that were outlined in the Final Project assignment description.
This is your chance to receive important feedback to ensure you get a good grade on the final.
I am grading here the annotations rather than the sources, though I may comment on the quality of the sources which is also important feedback for your final.
