Requirements – Identical to Assignment 1
For the second assignment you will select two communication concepts and explain each concept by using our textbook and two other sources. One of them has to be an academic journal article and the other source can be any primary or secondary source. Any concept from chapters 8-14 can be used.
Once you selected the concept and researched it, write 1-2 double spaced page report (about 500 words for each concept) and provide the following:
Definition of the concept using the textbook. You need a definition in quotes with page numbers and a sentence (or two) describing why this is an important communication concept.
Summary of how this concept has been used in one specific study. This means, you must cite an academic journal article for this part of the assignment. Use a different academic study for each keyword. Provide substantive information about the study – (1) what was studied, (2) how it was studied and (3) what was discovered about your selected concept. This assignment is asking you to use CSU Library databases. Please use this page prepared for our class by librarian to learn about the resources available to you at the library https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji9-nclUh3U. Same info is available here https://researchguides.csuohio.edu/com101 Feel free to contact our librarian Ben Richards b.c.richards@csuohio.edu if you have any questions about locating academic journal articles. His contact info is on that page as well.
Summarize another source that is not academic article that uses that concept. It can be a newspaper article, webpage, dictionary, magazine article, book or any other source of your choosing. You can use any search method for finding non-academic source (i.e. google search). You can use databases available at CSU as well. For example, Oxford Research Encyclopedia might be a good place to start your search https://scholar.csuohio.edu/record=b3509682
