Parenting Classes in A Womens Jail Essay

I did 5 annotated bibliographies and the professor said I needed more info on what things are important, how they connect and to be clear regarding the study and conclusion. Can you help with these being better worded and more pertinent detail. We need to stay between 150-200 words, but will allow 225 words if need be, 

Directions and a sample from class.

Writing an Annotated Bibliography

What is it?

A list of citations of articles. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. 

The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.  (https://guides.library.cornell.edu)

An annotated bibliography includes both summary and an evaluation of your source. 

Required elements:

The proper APA reference for your source. 

We are using APA 7th edition. 

• A summary of the main arguments or main point of the source. 

What topics are covered? 

• In other words, if you were to explain what the article was about to someone, what would you say? DO NOT USE PERSONAL PRONOUNS 
• Assessment of the source. 

What is the purpose of this source and is the source a “good” source for the topic that the authors are writing about. 

Reflection regarding the source.

Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic? 

Example: 

• There is an exemplar on Moodle, but here is another example with further details (details that I provide are in red)

Give the author credit, do not plagiarize and take ideas from the author without saying

No personal pronouns: I, me, we, etc. 

• Hasker, W. (1992). Faith–learning integration: An overview. Christian Scholar’s Review, 21(3), 239-248. 

In this article, Hasker (1992) discusses the gap in the literature on Christian faith-learning integration. He notes that (By adding in “He notes that”, you give the author credit for his idea, instead of starting the sentence out as “The majority” which makes it sound like your idea.) the majority of literature on integration focuses on one of two perspectives: 1) the worldview perspective that explores the general, overarching challenges of integration; or, 2) from within academic disciplines that focus more narrowly on the challenges of integration within the particular disciplines. Hasker begins by offering a definition of faith-learning integration that underscores the importance of developing relationships between the Christian faith and human knowledge, while acknowledging the conceptual challenge that integration presents for a Christian worldview. After acknowledging the conceptual challenges of integration, Hasker argues that faith integration is necessary in learning due to the predominantly secular nature of academic settings. 

• Hasker suggests utilizing the following three strategies for integration: 1) the compatibilist strategy that presupposes the integrity of both faith and academic discipline. This strategy focuses on shared assumptions rather than on challenging areas of conflict; 2) the transformationist strategy sees areas of conflict between faith and academic disciplines and works to transform the discipline to have more a Christian orientation; and 3) the reconstructionist strategy that finds fundamental tension between the assumptions of secular disciplines and the Christian faith. 

Hasker does an excellent job of discussing the complex challenges of faith integration in learning. (Here is your assessment).  He has keen insight into the assumptions of various approaches and provides the reader with a thoughtful critique of each approach, along with plenty of examples. Overall, Hasker provides a foundational article for understanding faith integration in learning and makes a compelling argument for more work to be done in this area (This last sentence is the reflection).

• Keywords: faith, learning, education, religion, Christian integration, spiritual integration, 

Final Thoughts/Suggestions:

“Hasker implies” or “Hasker said” or “Hasker concluded”.
