Annotated Bibliography

Submission:Submit your annotated bibliography as a Microsoft Word (*.DOCX) file through the “A2: Annotated Bibliography” link in the “Assessment Submission” area of Learnline by 23:59 on Friday of Week 6.

Task Overview:

An annotated bibliography is a bibliography with notes that summarise and explain the relevance of each bibliographic entry (see p. 143 of textbook for more information). This assessment uses the CUC100 core readings to move into the next important stage in writing a persuasive essay, which is to apply relevant information from published academic literature to:

1.      Build your understanding of the topic

2.     Find credible evidence for supporting the ideas in your final essay.


The CUC100 core readings will build your knowledge of key sustainability concepts and provide approaches to developing sustainable responses to concerns. We will also identify how these core readings relate to your chosen scenario and scope. This assessment allows you to practise essential academic skills: reading, notetaking, summarising and writing an annotated bibliography in the correct format.
Task details:
For each core reading (covered in class in Weeks 4 & 5) in CUC100 this semester:

·  Write a heading that is the reading’s complete and correct APA reference (See the APA referencing guide on the CDU library website). Present these in alphabetical order by the author’s surname.

·  Write a 200 word summary paragraph that summarises and paraphrases the key ideas and/or arguments in the core reading. (UsWrite a 200 word summary paragraph that summarises and paraphrases the key ideas and/or arguments in the core reading. (Us e your own words; do not quote from the reading.)

·  Write a 200 word commentary paragraph that explains the links between the core reading to your chosen scenario and scope. To do this, explain: how and why this source is relevant to your chosen scenario; what information, sections, themes or examples are the most relevant ones? For example, are they relevant because they help define or explain an aspect of your scenario or do they provide solutions or that could be applied to your scenario?

·   For details on setting up your Word document for this assessment, open the link to “Formatting Guidelines for Assessments 2 & 4” through the “Assessment Tasks” link on the CUC100 Learnline site menu.

Please Note: This assessment requires you to use only the core readings provided for CUC100. These core readings can be downloaded from the CUC100 Learnline site under “Reading List”. We will work on the summaries and commentaries for each of the core readings in Weeks 4 and 5. In Week 6, we will demonstrate how an annotated bibliography should be presented. Guidelines and examples of how to present an annotated bibliography are also provided in the Week 6 Learning Materials and Chapter 6 (p. 146) of our textbook (Rolls & Wignell, 2015).

 Suggestions to help you complete these tasks:

·  Follow the task guidelines above, as well as the guidelines for writing an annotated bibliography as provided in our Week 6 Learning Materials. Refer to your textbook for extra information, hints and tips on the appropriate structure.

·  Follow correct referencing conventions to present each core reading’s details as the heading for that section of your annotated bibliography. The most up-to-date guidelines for APA referencing style are found on the CDU library website: http://libguides.cdu.edu.au/cdureferencing.

·  Do not add a separate reference list at the end of your annotated bibliography. There should be no in-text citations within an annotated bibliography.

 ·   Remember that the sections of your annotated bibliography should be presented in alphabetical order according to the surnames of the lead author of the core readings.

 Use only the two core readings provided in Learnline for CUC100.

Clune, W. H., & Zehnder, A. J. (2020). The evolution of sustainability models, from descriptive, to strategic, to the three pillars framework for applied solutions. Sustainability Science15, 1001-1006. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-019-00776-8

The authors provide insights on a new technique for sustainability structure, which is based on existing systems. Although the primary focus is providing an unconventional approach to this framework, they provide a very detailed overview regarding the evolution of these techniques that provides insights into the history, trends, backgrounds, and timelines of various models extensively utilized in society. Chronological assessment and description of various models are undertaken that create an effective understanding of the achievements and shortcomings of various approaches that have been incorporated so far. The proposed framework lobbies for the integration of aspects such as innovation and technology, regulations and administration, commerce, and monetary rewards, which aid in creating an execution-focused strategic model that is currently unavailable. Practical case studies such as the  Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the invention of zeolites, and the regulatory structure by Precious Woods are extensively utilized to illustrate the incorporation of these aspects into sustainability frameworks that demonstrate the effectiveness of application and provide a guide. Practical advice on implementing this proposed framework by policy and decision-makers is available. Generally, the authors focus on chronologically evaluating sustainability approaches to highlight primary areas of concern and provide a solution to address this concern in the form of an unconventional approach substantiated by case studies.
