Worknet project

Im attaching all the instructions and 1 example.

This two-part assignment asks you to create a worknet followed by a literature review to help you better understand the conversation around your area of study. The topic ive chooesen is the use of ai in universities. Im also attaching 5 sources that i need to use. A worknet is a four-part model of working your way through one source such that it leads you towards other sources and ideas that will be useful to the thinking and framing of your project (Clary-Lemon, et al. 43).

Part 1: Worknet

Choose a scholarly article that is relevant to your research project. The article must be published after 2010 (unless theres a compelling reason for an older article). Then, following the model described in Try This, work through the four phases (semantic, bibliographic, choric, affinity-based) of your articles worknet, visualizing your findings as you go (youll want at least 3-5 points for each phase).

In addition to the visual, you will also submit:

300-500-word write-ups of your notes and observation for each phase (use the guiding questions in the text to help write these reflectionssee the chart below for page #s); and

An overall 200-word reflection on your experience. What did you learn about research? What questions did the process raise for you? What did you learn about yourself as a researcher? There are no concrete directions for this reflection allow your own experiences and interests to guide you. Remember, a reflection articulates what you learned from the process, how it changed what/how you thought about the material, and how it connects to or deviates from prior knowledge.

This assignment is reflective and inventive in nature, so focus less on the formatting of the final document and more on engaging with what the assignment asks of you: to explore, to question, to play.

You can find more information about each piece of the worknet (and the notes/observation questions using the table below:

Part 2: Literature Review

While your literature review wont be finalized until the end of the semester, this is an opportunity to start putting your sources in conversation to see what the bigger discussion is around your topic. For the literature review, youll want to synthesize your sources to see how the conversations diverge or overlap.

For the literature review, find and read 4-5 academic sources (books or journal articles) related to your research topic.

What to Write (3-4pp, double-spaced):

Introduction — Introduce the general issue and its importance.

o Identify the specific focus of your literature review.

o Give a brief outline of the structure of the body.

Body

o Develop themes, highlighting major concepts, influential studies, etc., in relation to your topic.

o Focus on areas of agreement, disagreements, tensions and contentious issues related to your topic.

o Use strong topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph so the reader can clearly identify the theme or aspect of the theme being discussed.

o Organize your literature review around themes (not sources)

Conclusion

o Summarize your major findings and how you position yourself and your ideas in relationship to the existing body of scholarship.
