Explanation of the key concept

This is a clear and concise overview of the essentials relevant to understanding this key concept.

Major article summary

Using your own words, provide a clear and concise summary of the article, including the major points and conclusions. Use scholarly references only

Discussion (In your own words, discuss each of the following points)

How the cited work relates to your above explanation AND how it relates specifically to the content of this module.  This part of your DB provides evidence that you have extended your understanding of this topic beyond the textbook readings.
How the cited work relates to the other 4 works you researched.  This part of your DB provides evidence that you have refined your research topic to a coherent and specialized aspect of the topic, rather than a random selection of works on the topic.  The idea here is to prove you have focused your research and that all works cited are related in some manner to each other – rather than simply a collection of the first 5 results from your Internet search.

Annotated References

A minimum of 5 scholarly business references (not textbooks, Wikipedia, or other popular reading magazines), in APA format, and must contain persistent links so others may have instant access.  In the event formatting is lost or corrupted when posting the DB, be sure to attach the Word document to your posting, as evidence your work was completed in the proper format.  Please see the “Using Persistent Links and Annotated Bibliographies” document for how to do this properly.
