Statement of Determination Assignment



Statement of Determination Assignment is a brief outline of your project. The draft outline is a Full Sentence Outline that provides general information about what you will cover in your project. The outline is to use the alphanumeric format, but have full sentences at each level of the outline. The following headings are to be included with full sentences at the first level of the outline:

    Nature of the Project

The Nature of this project is to increase HCAPS scores at a hospice and palliative care center in Souther California by implementing complementary care (music therapy, acupuncture, pet therapy ,meditation, reiki, art therapy)


    Data That Shows the Need for the Project

    Goal of the Project

    Evidence to Support the Project

The final portion of the Statement of Determination Assignment is an APA formatted Annotated Bibliography that is based on research, applied management, or organizational nursing journals or books. Do not include your textbooks. This Annotated Bibliography should support your project. It should include recent articles published within the last five years. Peer-reviewed articles are preferred; however, articles that are substantive and relevant to the topic may be included. The Annotated Bibliography is to include a minimum of ten articles.

Visit How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography      http://guides.library.cornell.edu/annotatedbibliography     

 for instructions on how to compose an annotated bibliography.

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

 ANNOTATIONS VS. ABSTRACTS

Abstracts are the purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly journal articles or in periodical indexes.
Annotations are descriptive and critical; they may describe the author's point of view, authority, or clarity and appropriateness of expression.
(make sure the summery is an annotation not a abstract)


THE PROCESS

Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.

First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.

Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style.

Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.



CRITICALLY APPRAISING THE BOOK, ARTICLE, OR DOCUMENT

For guidance in critically appraising and analyzing the sources for your bibliography, see How to Critically Analyze Information Sources. For information on the author's background and views, ask at the reference desk for help finding appropriate biographical reference materials and book review sources.



CHOOSING THE CORRECT FORMAT FOR THE CITATIONS

…*** use APA format………..American Psychological Association (APA) styles.


SAMPLE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ENTRY FOR A JOURNAL ARTICLE

The following example uses APA style (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, 2010) for the journal citation:

Waite, L. J., Goldschneider, F. K., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and the erosion of traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51, 541-554.

The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living.
