Objectives:

The Communication (COM) Research Assignment has two purposes:

  • To help students understand the research process as they learn how to use library to locate a variety of resources.
  • To help students evaluate the credibility and usability of resources for at least one of the COM speeches (either informative or persuasive.)

In this document you will:

  • List FIVE sources related to your speech topic in MLA format.Use a variety of sources (books, eBooks, magazines/journal articles, news articles and no more than one website) from the library but at least one source has to be a book or eBook.
    • If a book/eBook cannot be found, please discuss with your instructor.
  • Evaluate each source. (This should be a minimum of a paragraph – answering each of these questions.)
    • Relevant to your topic?From an author who is knowledgeable about the topic?From a source that is well-respected (like the New York Times, the U.S. Government, or Yale University)?Current enough?
  • Cite the source. Give the MLA complete citation
  • Orally cite the source. How would you orally cite the source in a presentation?
  • Example:

Is this source a good choice for your speech?Why or why not?Is the information you’re finding:

“In their August 2009 article from Personnel Psychology, Julie McCarthy and Richard Goffin explain that applicants with high levels of social anxiety are perceived as less socially attractive and less intelligent.”

  • Save the document and submit it to your instructor!
