Sources must be from the APUS library. let me know asap if i need to help get the sources.
This week, you will submit an annotated bibliography for two (2) of your sources for the final project paper. Both sources should be scholarly (peer-reviewed) and from the APUS Library. Read the instructions for upcoming assignments so you will have a good idea of sources you might need.
Each source (listed in alphabetical order) should have a complete Works Cited or References entry for the citation style you are using, as well as an annotation, which should be a paragraph or two summarizing and evaluating the article. Information about the author’s credentials and publisher’s credibility may be included. Value of the sources to the final project paper should be part of the annotation. (Summaries/evaluations under one hundred words each will be considered under-developed.)
Write in third person only. It’s a good idea to include a signal phrase, direct quote or paraphrase, and a parenthetical citation within each summary.
To format your Works Cited or References entries, you may use the library cite button discussed in the week four Lessons. Include the article’s web link (the https address—not just the doi) at the end of your Works Cited entry. Just copy and paste it from your web browser, if it is not already included. Examples are shown in the attached Template (which you will download) and Sample (which is attached to show you an example of what a good submission looks like).
Submit your assignment as a Word document attached to the assignment link so it can be automatically processed through Turnitin. Use the template provided. You can save the template with a title like this: Your Name_Annotated Bib.
Here is my topic choice.
My topic of choice is going to be: Hybrid Cloud Data Governance. Being the focus on the integration of public and private data centers, it is necessary that the company data management should be secure, compliant, and efficient. These days, the importance of both private and public cloud solutions has expanded and businesses are looking for a middle ground for flexibility in decisions, and security as well. In the case of data governance issues in such scenarios, my paper will identify useful solutions.

No need for references. Pick two or three if you can so I can use them as replies.
Read the article “POV: Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Writing at the University: Let’s Embrace It.” and then decide how you want to respond to it. Choose one of the following ways.
Skeptic, challenging the author
Reflector, thinking about how the reading applies to you and others
Validator, supporting the author
Extender, applying the author’s principles to future situations
Descriiptions of these roles are found below. Once you’ve decided, make your initial post under the appropriate thread (Skeptic, Reflector, Validator, or Extender).
Skeptic – Challenge some items in the reading. Be specific about what you disagree with and provide substantive evidence (logic, examples, or even research). Here’s a way to start your post: “I disagree with many points in the editorial because…”
Reflector – Think about the concepts set forth in the reading as they relate to your own experiences or those of others. Be specific about your observations, explaining how you have reached your conclusions. Here’s a way to start your post: “Reading this article makes me think of a class I took a month ago…”
Validator – Support some items in the reading. Be specific about which points you agree with, explaining why you do. Provide evidence. Here’s a way to start your post: “I agree with many of the author’s points, such as…”
Extender – Show how the concepts might be applied in future situations. You may focus on both positive and negative ramifications. Be specific as you extend the conversation. Here’s a way to start your post: “This editorial made me wonder how the concepts might be applied to…”

sidenote helpful: this is my second attempt at this paper the professor complaints are there should only really be 6 paragraphs. the Introduction which with a 3-point argumentative thesis statement, 3 body paragraphs and a counterargument, then the conclusion. they said the argument part is still missing and she feel some might have integrity issues so keep an eye out for that. Thanks

All the way at the bottom is the feedback I was given.
This is an essay that was written by the same writer with some tweaks. It has been annotated, it is attached as a file. The Comment Sheet is also attached this is what will be used to tell you what need to be fixed, the annotations show numbers, you look at the number than go find it in the Comment Sheet and then make the correction that is it telling you. Also a Strengths and weaknesses paragraph is needed right before the concluding paragraph. A reflection is needed separately after making all of the corrections. Directions for reflection below.
Highlight all corrections
All rewrites should exhibit significant revisions that go beyond the comments that were submitted to you. You should highlight your changes. They should definitely be revised beyond grammatical/mechanical formatting errors and be largely content-based. All rewrites are due as scheduled and should include a one-page reflection that explains the changes you made which addresses the following
1. how you used the comments to help with the changes
2. how you revised beyond grammar
3. a comparison of the first experience vs. the rewrite
4. What you changed and why
5. what you learned from the experience
6. I will not grade rewrites that do not have changes highlighted or are missing the reflection.
The feedback that was given:
This is well-written and thorough. However, you do not cite your source regarding Jeffries’ credentials, which is plagiarism. You also skip your strengths and weaknesses. Fix these two things, and this will be an A.
Good job with creating a clear and focused thesis organization for your introduction and conclusion. Here is what you want to work on if you decide to revise:
Develop a clear thesis that establishes your view of the film and includes your criteria.
Use more supporting examples.
Be sure you credit the source of your information when providing the information regarding the author’s credentials. You must cite when you put information in your own words. That is a big issue impacting your grade, but it is an easy fix.
You are missing your discussion of diversity.
Avoid first and second person pronouns and contractions.

Instructions Write a detailed outline for Essay 3 Your outline should include: 1) your paper’s thesis statement 2) supporting points 3) a counterpoint (the viewpoint of someone who disagrees with you or has a different perspective on your topic) 4) rebuttal or concession (your response to the counterpoint) https://www.apa.org/monitor/2014/02/video-game#:~:text=Comment%3A,of%20violent%20media%20on%20youth Option 5, Video Gaming and Connection: When discussing video games, most news coverage only highlights the negative effects of gaming, such as increased depression, addiction, and aggression. However, positive outcomes from gaming do exist, including increased reasoning, collaboration, and multicultural communities. In your opinion, can gaming offer opportunities for increased social awareness and/or community?

Using Gilb’s essay as a model, write an essay that defines a human feeling or characteristic—happiness, for example, or fear or courage—or some notion that you find important but that you think some (many?) frequently misunderstand. As Gilb does, present a wide range of examples to suggest various aspects of your subject. essays must contain at least 5 total paragraphs (intro, 3 body paragraphs, conclusion). Sometimes, though, you will want (or need) more. All essays must contain direct quotations (the Response Essays from the assigned readings, and the Presentation Essay and Research Essay from secondary sources). Contains a hook (more than one sentence that engages the reader); • Identifies the author and article title of the assigned reading selection; • Identifies a clear response to the essay prompt; • The thesis must identify three clear points that will be covered in the essay. Support/Organization • Each body paragraph contains a topic sentence directly linked to the thesis. • Each body paragraph contains a direct quotation from the assigned reading. • Quotations are “sandwiched” in the middle of a body paragraph; in other words, do not begin or end a body paragraph with a quotation. • The concluding paragraph hearkens back to the thesis without merely repeating it. Editing & Revising – Essay has been thoroughly edited before submitting for a grade. The list below mentions only the most common pitfalls, not all of them. • Eliminate run-on sentences, sentence fragments, and comma splices. • Properly punctuate introductory dependent clauses. • Subjects and verbs must agree; watch out for indefinite pronouns. • Pronouns and antecedents must agree; watch out for indefinite pronouns. • Direct quotations must (a) be used as evidence, not padding, (b) be enclosed within quotation marks, and (c) be integrated into the student’s own sentence (no quot. should stand alone). • Quotation marks must be punctuated correctly. Also, use single quotation marks for material that a source quotes. • All essays must conform to MLA formatting. • All slang must be eliminated. • Commas! ~ Learn the rules governing their use. • Apostrophes must be used correctly. • Use Spellcheck! • Read your writing aloud before considering your job done. Your ear may catch an error or an unwieldy or odd-sounding expression. • First drafts usually don’t get great scores.

Visual Diary: Visual ElementsFor this assignment, you will be creating one Visual Diary and a supporting summary of what you found.
Your collection of photos must be visual representations of specific formal elements of art.
Your summary must identify the medium for each object/image and the formal element for each object/image. Follow the instructions below for the introduction and step by step instructions.
The goal for this assignment is to carefully view the world around you, and to identify visual elements and mediums, in your personal daily life. I guarantee you, they are everywhere! Once you see it, it will be hard to unsee it!Line, light & value, texture & pattern, shape & volume/form, chance, color, time, movement exist all around us in nature and in the things that humans make and build. Look to your surroundings: from the computer you’re working on, to the leaves on the trees! These are all described as Formal Elements of Art, sometimes called the Visual Elements.
For this assignment, please refer to the Canvas Content pages specifically: Analyzing Art: Different Approaches (Chapter 1 Supplemental Materials)Analyzing Art: Different Approaches (Chapter 1 Supplemental Materials) & Analyzing Art: Formal Elements (Chapter 2 Supplemental Material) and/or Chapters 1 and from our required textbook: Exploring Art A Global Thematic Approach.Before you begin, look to the examples from the module and/or textbook, and as you are reading about analyzing art and the formal elements of art look to your surroundings in your home (this project does not require leaving home).
Are you able to identify examples of as the relate to our collective Visual Culture: (Fine Art, Popular Culture, Craft, and or Specific Disciplines like drawing, photography, or sculpture)? I bet you can: A silkscreened print, a drawing, or a painting?-that’s fine art
School pictures of your kids?- that’s photography.
Action figures?- that’s popular culture.
A mask you made?- that’s sculpture.
A car you’ve been working on restoring?-that’s popular culture and sculpture.
Fabrics, a crocheted clothing item, a pot, a handmade basket, or jewelry?- sounds like craft.
Look to your personal items, manufactured items and handmade items.1. Now that you have analyzed these objects in your life, and identified how they relate to our collective Visual Culture (based on the list above and this module), start taking photos of just one formal element (line, light & value, texture & pattern, shape & volume/form, chance, color, time, movement) of your collection using the principles of design/composition (balance, rhythm, proportion & scale, unity).2. After you have collected 9-12 examples of your selected element, make a visual diary of all you have found. You will be creating a collection of photos (see examples below for format & arrangement only). Follow these steps: (1) You will have to take your own photos, (2) arrange them just as you see below. (note: the arrangement can vary in format, square/rectangle/fancy borders) 3. Explain (in text or video) how your images in the collection are examples of the visual element/sthat you are describing and what parts of our visual culture these images belong to. In other words; if you are showing us images with the visual element of line, make sure to describe how each image/object creates line, etc. Do the same for medias; be very clear and obvious in your descriptions :)Note: each collection does not have to include only only one formal element. Ideally, we do want just one type of formal element; however, what you can do, is create a a collection all the same type of art and different formal elements (line, light & value, texture & pattern, shape & volume/form, chance, color, time, movement), OR create a collection of various types of art (Fine Art, Popular Culture, Craft, and or Specific Disciplines like drawing, photography, or sculpture) and the same formal element. This will provide a “do-able” challenge!
Example: Below is an example with a few photos (collaged as a single file) all showing examples of the visual element: LINE. You may select any visual element, just as long as all of the images are showing the same visual element. A collection with just one element can appear more cohesive and provide a deeper look into the individual characteristics of the one element.
Guidelines for Submitting this ProjectPlease use this numbered format in your summary. Thank you for this :)Your projects (all 3 points below) may exist in a word doc, jpg, or pdf . You have creative freedom of how this is presented. You can upload your visual presentation and description/self analysis as single or separate documents. (See Submitting Individual Project Assignments for more details).Upload your visual diary based on a visual elements. Don’t have a smartphone or an app that will create a instant layout? That’s ok, use this pc/ Mac friendly website: https://www.photocollage.comLinks to an external site.. It’s incredibly easy! From there, you can paste your jpeg image file into a word doc or upload- depending on how you prefer to send in the work.
List which formal element your diaries display (they have to be based on this week’s module and/or textbook content).
A brief and clear description and self-analysis of how the images you are sharing all fit into our visual culture based on that formal element. This may be typed or video/audio recorded.
How do I record a video using the Rich Content Editor?Links to an external site.Thank you! I hope that through this scavenger hunt, you begin to see the formal elements all around you and that you are able to see the many medias we are surrounded by!
