Weekly Writing Assignment, Week 8

This week’s Weekly Writing Assignment will give you some practice with using APA style for in-text citations (after quotes) and bibliographic references that correspond with your in-text citations (at the end of your research report). The research and writing that you do on this assignment can be recycled into your research report, and it should also be in your research database file that we discussed in the Week 7 lecture (use your research database file as your record of everything you want to quote, references for quotes, and your own notes, thoughts, and discussion, which you can copy-and-paste and edit into your research report document.

For this assignment, you will write a partial annotated bibliography of three library-based sources that you might use in your research report. Format it as a memo according to the model below. Find three sources (books and/or journal articles). Write one sentence about each saying what it is about, and write one sentence including a useful quote followed by an in-text citation. Then, write a bibliographic reference entry for the source. Do this for the three sources that you find.

Make sure you listen to this week’s lecture before proceeding.

Use the Purdue OWL’s APA Guide (in-text citations, book references, and periodical references) as templates and models for how to cite your research.

SUBJECT:    Partial Annotated Bibliography for Research Report

The first article is about fabricating fault-tolerant microprocessors. An important quote from the article is: “Besides the higher clock frequencies, such trends have made the IC more vulnerable to faults, especially those faults caused by radiation-induced effects or also electrical noise” (Bastos et al., 2009, p. 1062).

The second article is a literature review of nanolithography. An important quote from the article is: “Besides the higher clock frequencies, such trends have made the IC more vulnerable to faults, especially those faults caused by radiation-induced effects or also electrical noise” (Seisyan, 2011, p. 1061).
