All articles should be from Galileo. They do not have to be “peer reviewed”
(i.e. academic) articles. They can be from popular press magazines as well
as from “academic” journals. The articles should not be more than 10
years old. Do not include any books, textbooks, newspapers, videos, blogs
or websites in the bibliography. We will have a class on how to use Galileo
and other library resources to find articles for this assignment.
You must have a complete citation for each article. Citations must include
author’s name, publication date, name of article, name of journal or
magazine, vol. #, and inclusive pages, in that order. Do not include website
addresses, names of databases, or article doi #s in the citations. Any
citation style will be acceptable (i.e. APA, MLA, etc.).
Here is an example of what a citation in your bibliography should look like
(with minor adjustments for citation style):
Jones, William A. (2023). Managing Diverse Age Groups in the Workplace.
Journal of Management, vol. 25, pp. 50- 63.
Write a ½ page summary of each of the 6 articles. This should produce a 3 –
4-page paper (approximately). If your summaries are any shorter, they are
probably not long enough, and I will deduct points for this. Additionally, if
your summaries are 1- ½ pages long, they are too long. I will also deduct
points for this. Being able to condense an article to approximately ½ page is
part of the challenge of the assignment. Do not include any personal
opinions or personal evaluations of the articles in the summaries.
The bibliography should be word-processed, single spaced, with 1” margins
on all sides of the page. Put the title of the topic you have chosen on the top
of your first page of the bibliography (ex. Managing Strategy, Motivating
Employees, etc.)
Please use complete sentences, correct grammar, and a college level writing
style. Points will be deducted for errors in sentence construction, grammar,
punctuation, and capitalization, as well as for any other writing errors that
make your summaries hard to understand. The summaries must be your
original work. If it appears to me that you have copied the abstract of the
article, written by its author, and submitted it as your own work, this is
considered academic cheating, known as plagiarism, and will be handled
according to GGC policies. You will also receive a grade of Zero on the
assignment.
