Description
Hang on to all your basic annotations because they will remain important to you. You will want to keep a catalog of all the sources you have uncovered related to your study topic. Although one of your major goals in utilizing the scholarly sources is to synthesize the literature, you will always want to have on hand the basic information from all the scholarly sources that you have collected.
Discuss in this Discussion Board (DB) assignment how you will organize and maintain your source and annotation collection. Use this as an opportunity to troll around online to learn about citation management software. In 500–700 words, share with your colleagues what you discovered is available. You can begin, if you want, with EndNote, which is a software tool that CTU provides to students, but this is only one of many options. Each student needs to determine what approach to organizing information is best for them as individuals. Share with your colleagues your discussion and address the following:
Appraise 3 citation management software programs that you discovered in your online search.
Evaluate the capabilities of each of these tools.
Identify and justify a particular tool that you think would be most useful to you.
Before posting your Primary Response, construct an outline, write a draft based on this outline, check your work with Draft Coach, and edit or revise as necessary before posting your work to the Discussion Board. Provide scholarly sources to support your discussion as appropriate. Your responses should be the product of your own critical thinking and deductive reasoning.
Responses to Other Students:
Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 200-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions:
How would you justify a different perspective from your classmate’s on the topic?
How, additionally, would you defend your classmate’s position?
What critique do you offer your classmate in regard to clarity and thoroughness of their post?
Please address all prompts. When offering counterargument or justification, consider practice, theory, and examples from your own experience, reading, or current events in presenting your position.
