ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY: Purpose: Students will explore trends in pathophysiology by identifying emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and determining appropriate sources of information related to these pathophysiologic processes. Print and read the How-to-Create an Annotated Bibliography material located on Desire2Learn. An example of an Annotated Bibliography is also available for your review. Directions: Develop a list of diseases. These diseases may be of local or global concern. When choosing these diseases consider the influence of cultural differences related to incidence, prevalence, & treatment; chronic and/or acute pathophysiologic alterations; geographic and care settings; and age. Some examples include Malaria, Mad Cow Disease, Monkeypox, West Nile Virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Resistant Organism Infections (MRSA/VRE), Hepatitis A,B,C, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Tuberculosis, Bacterial Pneumonias. A complete listing of emerging infectious diseases can be found on the CDC website: www.cdc.gov. You will be expected to choose at least two emerging disease processes and turn in four annotations for each. Your completed annotated bibliography should be submitted on GeorgiaView through the discussion board by the due date indicated on your course calendar. It would be wise to review your classmate’s annotated bibliographies and save as a future reference. This could be a very useful tool for future research papers/topics. Annotated Bibliography Grading Rubric 7 Selection Sources Format Content Points Awarded Appropriate and approved selection of two emerging disease processes At least 4 sources for each disease process selected; sources are from appropriate scholarly journals All citations are in APA format with correct punctuation and spacing. Each citation has a 2-3 sentence explanation of the resource which clearly states the contents and usefulness of the source. 25 Appropriate and approved selection of only one emerging disease process At least 3 sources for each disease process selected; some sources are not from appropriate scholarly journals Citations are in attempted APA format with mostly correct punctuation and spacing. Each citation has a 2-3 sentence explanation of the resourced that somewhat explains the contents and usefulness of the source 20 Inappropriate or unapproved selection of two emerging disease processes 2 or less sources for each disease process selected; some sources are not from appropriate scholarly journals Citations reflect no conventions of APA formatting Some citations have only one sentence or have no annotations 15 Total points out of 100 possible __________
