An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for various books, articles, and other sources on a topic.

The annotated bibliography

looks like a Reference page but includes an annotation after each source cited. An annotation is a short summary and/or critical
evaluation of a source. Annotated bibliographies can be part of a larger research project, or can be a stand-alone report in itself.
Types of Annotations
A summary annotation describes the source by answering the following questions: who wrote the document, what the
document discusses, when and where was the document written, why was the document produced, and how was it provided
to the public. The focus is on description.
An evaluative annotation includes a summary as listed above but also critically assesses the work for accuracy,
relevance, and quality. Evaluative annotations can help you learn about your topic, develop a thesis statement, decide if a
specific source will be useful for your assignment, and determine if there is enough valid information available to complete
your project. The focus is on description and evaluation.

Maak, T. (2007). Responsible leadership, stakeholder

engagement, and the emergence of social
capital. Journal of Business Ethics, 74, 329-343.
doi:10.1007/s10551-007-9510-5

This article focuses on the role of social capital in

responsible leadership. It looks at both the social
networks that a leader builds within an organisation,
and the links that a leader creates with external
stakeholders. Maak’s main aim with this article
seems to be to persuade people of the importance of
continued research into the abilities that a leader
requires and how they can be acquired. The focus
on the world of multinational business means that
for readers outside this world many of the
conclusions seem rather obvious (be part of the
solution not part of the problem).In spite of this, the
article provides useful background information on
the topic of responsible leadership and definitions of
social capital which are relevant to an analysis of a
public servant.

A STUDY conducted by the University of the Cordilleras (UC) revealed several factors affecting high
school graduating students in choosing their course in college.

The research entitled "Factors affecting high school graduating students in choosing course in college"
shows personal interests as the major factor students choose courses in college.

The study, conducted in three major public high schools namely Baguio City National High School, Irisan
National High School and Pines City National High School, showed more than 75 percent of the total
number of students surveyed said they chose their course due to personal interests.

The study aims to show parents, schools and the government considerations must be done in support to
achieve quality education to graduating youth.

It was also recommended in the study that students should identify their interest abilities, talents, and
skills before choosing their course.

Based on the data gathered from 251 respondents, the youth is also advised to choose a course and
consider happiness in their future before taking on college courses.

The student’s personal experience also came in as a second factor in determining college course
representing more than 50 percent of respondents.

Ranked third in the study is financial factor which determines the course to take in college while fourth
was peer pressure and fifth was employability.

The study showed personal interest, experience and employability remain to be all influential to students
in choosing their course in college while financial factors and peer pressure showed they were moderately
influential.
“Subtype of Autism: Developmental Verbal
Dyspraxia”
Amanda Babin and Morton Gernbascher (Mentor), Psychology

The purpose of this research is to identify a subtype of autism called

Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia (DVD). DVD is a motor-speech problem,
disabling oral-motor movements needed for speaking. The first phase of the
project involves a screening interview where we identify DVD and Non-DVD
kids. We also use home videos to validate answers on the screening
interview. The final phase involves home visits where we use several
assessments to confirm the child’s diagnosis and examine the connection
between manual and oral motor challenges. By identifying DVD as a subtype
of Autism, we will eliminate the assumption that all Autistics have the same
characteristics. This will allow for more individual consideration of Autistic
people and may direct future research o

The Impact of Social Media on the Academic Development of School

Students

Hashem, Y. (2015)

Abstract
Today, it is crucial to determine the impact of social media on the academic
performance of students. Technology is booming rapidly from year to year, and the
younger generations are the ones caught in this rapid change. Questionnaires were
distributed through Facebook and E-mails, to find out whether students academic
performance is impacted by social media or not. The findings demonstrate that there is
no relationship between social media and academic performance; this is clearly
projected in their overall grade average.
IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON STUDENT'S ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE

Selvaraj, S. (2013)

Abstract
India is the third biggest country in terms of internet users in the world, with a high social
and mobile audience. Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, etc diverting
students from their studies. Students spend more time on social media than they do do
using personnel email. Even Though, there is loss of privacy and safety, social media
provides opportunities for connecting with friends, classmates, and people with shared
interest. Today, the main aim of the student should be education and their future career.
However, many students rely on the accessibility of information on social media. That
means reduced focus on learning and retaining information. The study also points out
the popularity of social networking sites among students community. The social
networking sites and social media have revolutionized the world, bringing us closer than
ever before. However, students can exploit this and use it for a better life, a better
tomorrow. It should be used to connect, stay in touch, share views but not waste time
on. The sample size for the study is 100. A questionnaire is designed to determine the
various factors of social media that have impact on student's education. Variables
identified are gender, education, social influence, and academic performance.
ABSTRACT BULLYING AND VICTIMIZATION: SCHOOL CLIMATE MATTERS

By Jennifer L. Elfstrom

Bullying at school is prevalent in the United States and worldwide, but little is known
about the relationship between students’ experiences with bullying and their perceptions
of school climate. This study investigated the link between bullying and three elements
of school climate—social support from teachers, social support from peers, and school
connectedness. The study used MANOVA analyses to confirm differences between
students categorized as bullies, victims, bully-victims, and bystanders. Findings indicate
that students who are not directly involved in bullying perceive more social support and
school connectedness than all other students. Students who are bullied perceive less
social support from peers than other students, while students who bully perceive less
social support from teachers and connection to school than other students. Findings
from this study support strategies to increase social support and school connectedness,
as well as the meaningful involvement of both teachers and students in bullying
prevention efforts.

Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA)

Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) designs are appropriate when multiple dependent variables are
included in the analysis. The dependent variables should represent continuous measures (i.e., interval or ratio
data). Dependent variables should be moderately correlated. If there is no correlation at all, MANOVA offers no
improvement over an analysis of variance (ANOVA); if the variables are highly correlated, the same variable
may be measured more than once. In many MANOVA situations, multiple independent variables, called factors,
with multiple levels are included. The independent variables should be categorical (qualitative). Unlike ANOVA
procedures that analyze differences across two or more groups on one dependent variable, MANOVA
procedures analyze differences across two or more groups on two or more dependent variables. Investigating
two or more dependent variables simultaneously ...
