Introduction

The Signature Assignment for HUM250 is an analysis of a particular work of art (i.e., a painting, movie, book, etc.) that connects to your career field. For example, the film Patch Adams explores how a doctor uses humor to communicate with and motivate his patients as part of his healing philosophy. Students need to draw conclusions between art and make it relevant to their professional lives.

You will need to complete the Signature Assignment in sections throughout the course.

• Module 1: Brainstorm a topic for your assignment.
• Module 2: Create an annotated bibliography.
• Module 3: Create an outline for your Signature Assignment.
• Module 5: The final draft is due.

Your Signature Assignment will consist of a paper on a topic linked to your program of study. Choose a topic that would be of interest to your future employer. This paper will be a part of your ePortfolio. Use this as an opportunity to show your analytical and communication skills which can be highlighted in your ePortfolio.

Module 2: Annotated Bibliography (90 Points)

Your annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, documents and websites that you may use to prepare your paper. Each item listed is followed by a short paragraph describing the item, a determination of why it might be useful to developing your paper, and an assessment of the quality of the source. Including an item in your annotated bibliography does not mean you must use that source in your project. It means only this was an item you reviewed during your research. The purpose of the annotation is to show a reader the importance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. You will be collecting a minimum of four sources that come from an academic journal, an article, or a government website. Each annotation is 1–3 sentences and clearly explains the source's relevance. Remember to use proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and so on.

Sample:

Pooh, W. T. (2017). Effects of small-unit honey production on climate change. Winne the Pooh Journal of Climate Science, 147(6), 165-175.

This article reviews effects of honey production by locations operating five hives or fewer. Pooh argues that although precision measurement shows minute increases in local temperature ("less than 1° C within five feet of an active hive" [p. 168]), there is not enough heat produced to affect the local climate, nor is there cumulative effect to contribute substantially to global warming. This article does not make any reference to larger, industrial honey production. This article provides good examples as well as expert opinion that I can use in my project. It contains easy-to-understand figures that may be useful as slides in my presentation. This will provide me with evidence to support my claims about the environmental effects of small-unit honey production.

Your annotated bibliography must be submitted in APA format (see below for details).

• APA format includes the following.
• 1-inch margins
• Double spaced
• 12-point Times New Roman font
• Title page with topic and name of student
