Essay on Career Prospects
You will be required to submit a PROPOSAL, with both an OUTLINE and an ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY, worth 5%. The outline should identify your career choice and summarize the key points you will be making in your essay (in 1-2 pages using point form); and the annotated bibliography should identify and describe at least 5 sources of material, with a couple of sentences describing why each source is relevant or useful for your paper. Your bibliography must be done in a proper academic format.
The outline should identify your career choice and briefly (in a few sentences) describe your approach. (Although such exploratory essays do not require a thesis, you might say the research question Is “Why do you want to be a… [lawyer or nurse, etc]?” and your thesis could be “I want to be a lawyer in order to help defend the wrongly accused”– or “it best suits my argumentative personality”, or “my desire for high status and income”…) It should then summarize some of the key points you will be making in your essay (in 1-2 pages – you can use point form).
Your “annotated bibliography” should offer a list of FIVE (5) sources done in proper academic format. Use the style agreed upon for your tutorial (eg. APA or MLA…), making sure that you include all the elements required and use the proper punctuation. (see, for example, Van Rys et al, Writing Life, Ch 25 on MLA and Ch 26 on APA)
For each source, include a few sentences describing how or why that source will be useful for your essay. Don’t just go online and look up a list of library materials. You will have to examine each source to see if it is useful or irrelevant – eg. NOT books from the 1960’s about computer programming, or articles about being a lawyer in the USA… (see Van Rys et al, Writing Life, pp. 418-423 on “Engaging and Evaluating Sources” and “Annotate the Sources”)
