.) You need to have a strong PICO(T) question in order for the search to make sense. If you are struggling with this please don’t hesitate to email me and send me your question with the PICO(T) breakdown so I can help you with this. Send it early in the week so you have enough time to get my response and do the search. I will comment on everyone’s PICOT in the discussion and make recommendations. Submit early!
2.) When searching you want to make sure you take good notes and write them in the comments side.
3.) The goal is to get between 10 and 15 articles. If you are not within this number keep searching until you have demonstrated it is not likely to reach this goal. Please provide as a rationale when you are not achieving the goal number of articles in your PICOT assignment.
4.) Not only will you be searching individual key terms (your PICO terms) and then combining them, but you will use search limits as well to narrow your search.
You have an example in the Rubric for this assignment. I strongly suggest you look at it and make sure you read the Rubric. This is how I will score your submitted assignment. This part of the assignment is a total of 100 points.
Please contact me early on in the week for any issues.
Part 2 of your assignment is the Annotated Bibliography (100 points)
1. From the articles you found during your database searches, choose 4 scholarly peer reviewed articles that would help provide an answer or provide insight to your clinical research question and write them in an annotated bibliography format. There is an example provided for you under the Course Resource Tab.
2. The paper must be in APA 6th ed format. You will submit the paper into the Dropbox for a Turn it in Review.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
