Demonstrates a deep understanding of various business plan models by supporting ideas with details and examples. All of the required assignment content is present. Major points are exceptionally clear and thoroughly addressed. Significant and best possible support is evident, relevant, and convincing.)

Organization & effectiveness & Sources 20.0% (Sources are academic, comprehensive, current, and relevant. Quoted material and paraphrasing expertly support, extend, and inform ideas but do not substitute for the writer’s own idea development. Sources are well evaluated to support major points.)

Research Citations (In-text citations for paraphrasing and direct quotes, and reference page listing and formatting, as appropriate to assignment and style 5.0% (In-text citations and a reference page are complete and correct. The documentation of cited sources is free of error.)

Research in preparation for the research essay. It is a list of citations to books, articles, and other documents which are relevant to your research topic; however, unlike a works cited, an annotated bibliography includes a summary and evaluation of each source.
For this assignment, you will need a minimum of 4 sources. Please use MLA style for the heading and the citation. Each entry should begin with the citation to a source, followed by a brief evaluative summary of approximately 4 sentences. The annotation should (1) summarize the relevant information and (2) explain the source’s usefulness to your research essay.

Evaluating Sources

You may use the web for your research, but evaluate carefully. Do you really want to cite a high school essay as a source on your college research paper? Is a movie review posted on a personal website (or even a newspaper website) really offering you any information you did not already know by watching the film?

I recommend using an academic library Online for your research. At least two of your sources must come from online ac edemic Library. Remember that the college pays for access to periodicals, books, and other resources that you cannot access for free using the Internet. Take advantage of the resources available at the college!
Look for sources that offer depth of analysis. Often this means that the better source will be the longer one. An essay of 1 page cannot offer the same depth of analysis as an essay that is 12 pages. A longer essay/source will offer more ideas for your analysis!

Your Research Methodology and Design
You need to select one of the methods(Survey,experiment, and field research) that we have been studying that seems to best fit the needs of your research question. In other words, describe how you will operationalize you research question of interest. While it may be that more than one method could be employed, you should settle on one method, then describe why it is appropriate or fits the needs of your question of interest (i.e., theory testing vs. theory building; looking for causal relationship; exploration; description, etc.). This will be your rationale for the design choice. You will also provide some detail as to the specific elements of the design, appropriate to the method. For survey, for example, you would identify the population of interest, and describe your sampling plan.
For an experiment, you need to describe the independent variable(s), the dependent variable(s), and how random assignment to condition will be achieved. You should use the language appropriate to the method in describing the variables of interest, the measures to be implemented, the hypotheses tested, the data collection plan, etc. See examples below. You can use the article assignments on each method as other examples to guide you.

Title: Anti-racism and prejudice reduction: What works and why?
Question: In recent times, a lot of attention has been focused on issues of prejudice and discrimination amongst individuals, communities and Governments alike. Part of this attention stems from the fact that our societies are becoming more diverse and ethnically heterogeneous, leading to an increase likelihood of intergroup contact and incidences of prejudice and discrimination. It is also the case that the negative impacts of discrimination on people’s health and well-being are becoming clearer. In this essay summarise the existing evidence on anti-racism and prejudice reduction interventions, making sure you focus on high-quality and robust research. Make recommendations (based on the evidence) for the most effective strategies to reduce prejudice and identify areas where further research is needed.

My supervisor concerns about the majority of these titles are about the legal content. She said the titles are very interesting but I think you will struggle to find any or enough legal content to write your dissertation. She added, the piece you write must have some degree of legal issue for you to be able to write critically. Finally, She asked me If I do think from my research to date that these titles throw up any big legal ideas or concerns?. She means,what the legal point that I propose to address?
