Description
Assignment Overview
This essay requires a minimum of six academic sources on the theme of the covenant from the GCU Library, along with the Bible and your textbook. Additional sources outside of the GCU Library may be used with the instructor’s approval prior to usage. You will later use these sources to write your term paper for the “Covenant Term Paper Part III: Final Draft.” Use the content from your Topic 1 assignment to help you think about keywords for your searches. You may add more than six sources if you wish as long as all sources are scholarly. Do not use a book review as one of your sources.
For each source, you will write a summary and/or evaluation of the article in your own words. Each summary should be two to four sentences. The summary/evaluation for each source should identify the main point of the article and how that article might be helpful for your own essay. Do not copy and paste the abstract provided by the GCU Library. The summary needs to be your interaction and summary of the article.
Library Help
Take a library webinar this week if you can, because that will give you tools for conducting effective searches. Do not hesitate to contact the librarians directly by phone, email, or live chat for more help finding quality sources.
The Next Step
Use the sample below to guide your own work. Type your own work right into this worksheet and submit it to the drop box. Submit the assignment to Turnitin. The score may be high because of worksheet content. The instructor will open and view each report and will only be paying attention to your own work to check for originality, so do not worry if the worksheet content is highlighted.
Each resource listed in your bibliography should include three parts.
1. Reference in GCU Style (use the cite feature in the library, choose the APA reference and adjust capitalization as needed to match GCU Style). Keep the GCU Style guide handy so you can revise the references as needed.
2. Permalink from the GCU Library (this is different than the URL at the top of the browser). If you do not know how to find the actual permalink, call the librarians.
3. Write two to four sentences that give a short summary of the article and explain how this article will be helpful for your essay. Do NOT copy an abstract from the library; write your own summary/explanation so your instructor knows that you understand the article.
