 Learning to Adapt My Work to My Audience

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to adapt your writing style gives you the ability to communicate clearly with a variety of people and situations. We completed a range of writing projects this semester, such as grant proposals, annotated bibliographies, and rhetorical essays. I learned how to adapt my work for the intended audience and the topic(formal, informal, argumentative, etc.) from the various writing assignments we accomplished.

knowing your sources is significant part of writing since it aids in locating the most pertinent data for your topic and assignment. Annotated bibliography assist writers in organizing their materials and examining them more closely and critically, annotated bibliographies are crucial.

An annotated bibliography or annotated bib is a bibliography (a list of books or other works) that includes descriptive and evaluative comments about the sources cited in your paper. These comments are also known as annotations.

An annotated bibliography entry consists of two components: the Citation and the Annotation.

Citation

The citation should be formatted in the bibliographic style that your professor has requested for the assignment. Some common citation styles include APA, MLA, and Chicago. For more information, see the Style Guides page.

Annotation

Generally, an annotation is approximately 100-300 words in length (one paragraph). However, your professor may have different expectations so it is recommended that you clarify the assignment guidelines.

An annotation may include the following information:

A brief summary of the source

The source's strengths and weaknesses

Its conclusions

Why the source is relevant in your field of study

Its relationships to other studies in the field

An evaluation of the research methodology (if applicable)

Information about the author's background

Your personal conclusions about the source

Hanging Indents are required for citations in the bibliography, as shown below. That is, the first line of the citation starts at the left margin, and subsequent lines are indented 4 spaces. The bibliography is double-spaced, both within the citation and between them. The annotation appends the entry unless complete sentences are used, then a line space is added and the annotation begins with a paragraph indent, as shown in the example below.

Lozier, Jeffrey D., et al. "Predicting the Distribution of Sasquatch in Western North America: Anything Goes with Ecological Niche Modelling." Journal of Biogeography, vol. 36, no.9, 2009, pp. 1623-1627. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/40305930. Accessed 14 June 2016. This paper critiques the use of Ecological Niche Models (ENM) and species distribution by performing a tongue-in-cheek examination of the distribution of the fictional Sasquatch, based on reports from an online Bigfoot archive.Lozier's paper powerfully demonstrates the issues faced by ENM, when reports come from non-specialists, and highlights key problems with sourcing data from unmediated online environments. The author neglects to compare the reliability of the many wildlife databases with the single Bigfoot database, as well as other key issues; however in closing, the paper briefly mentions that many issues lie outside the scope of the short article. Lozier's paper advises professionals in fields using ENM to carefully assess the source of the data on which the model is based and concludes that the distribution of rare species in particular is often over-reported to misidentification.

Refer to Section 9.51, p. 307 and Figure 9.3, p. 308 in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed. [ print] for detailed information on annotated bibliographies.

The following are general guidelines. Check with your instructor for

References follow the same alphabetical order as entries in a reference list [Section 9.43-9.44, p. 303]. The annotation is a new paragraph below its reference entry and follows block quotation format [Section 8.27, pp. 272-273]. Should the annotation have multiple paragraphs, the first line of the second and subsequent paragraphs are indented an additional 0.5in.

D'Elia, G., Jorgensen, C., Woelfel, J., & Rodger, E. J. (2002). The impact of the Internet on public library use: An analysis of the current consumer market for library and Internet services. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 53(10), 808-820. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.10102
In this study, the researchers examined if the Internet had affected public library usage in the United States. This study is distinct because its researchers surveyed library nonusers as well as users. The major finding was that 75.2% of people who used the Internet also used the public library. However, the researchers surveyed only 3000 individuals in a population of millions; therefore, these results may not be statistically significant. However, this study is relevant because it provides future researchers with a methodology for determining the impact of the Internet on public library usage.

The reader can follow complicated arguments more easily when punctuation and sentence structure are used correctly. Clear comprehension is achieved by the use of grammar as a navigational aid in texts. Writing a grant proposal can help you show that you are proficient in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It can also help you understand the concepts of intellectual property that underlie documentation practices and help you get familiar with them.

The document outlines the 7 literary standards that make a literary piece good, including artistry, intellectual beauty, suggestiveness, spiritual value, permanence, universality, and style.

The key to a productive writing practice is detail. By focusing on the small things in your writing, you may build more complex, engaging worlds and establish a voice and style all your own. Writing the grant proposal, helps significantly improve your ability to write in greater detail because you must thoroughly explain each aspect of your project and provide step-by-step instructions.
