MSML Task 1: Annotated Bibliography
Throughout the MSML program, you have been exposed to articles representing key learnings from each course. Task 1 has been designed to be taken after successfully completing each of these courses within the MSML program. Before attempting this task, ensure you have completed all program courses, or obtain permission from your program mentor and course instructor. Task 1 encourages you to gather and reflect upon your readings which you will build on as you proceed with the capstone.

Complete All SKIP All Task 1 – Bibliography and Examples
You will review and compile resources for the annotated bibliography submission and provide a synopsis of each article’s contents.

Your summary will include key points and important information from each article. This summary should be formatted with the same indentation noted in the task template and will be all one paragraph. The formatting should be Times New Roman, 12-point font, and double spaced.

You will provide a one-paragraph description of why each article is important from the management and leadership perspective. Each source in the annotated bibliography should start on a new page. Remember to include examples of how you will apply the concepts.

Your selection of articles should reflect competencies and concepts that you found particularly important from each course. This annotated bibliography will serve as a tool for remembering these points and will also provide a foundation to your research when you create the management and leadership development program for task 2.

Task 1 must pass evaluation before you may begin task 2.

The graduate integrates and synthesizes competencies from across the degree program and thereby demonstrates the ability to participate in and contribute value to the chosen professional field.
INTRODUCTION

Note: This task is designed to be taken after successful completion of all courses within the Master of Science, Management and Leadership (MSML) program. Before beginning this task, ensure all program courses are completed, or obtain permission from your program mentor and course instructor.

In your capstone project, you will apply competencies from throughout the MSML program. This course is designed for you to synthesize and reflect on key concepts learned within your MSML program.

In this task, you will create an annotated bibliography with references from each course in your MSML program. In creating each annotation, you will reflect on each course in your program and choose articles for each course that you find to be most important to your management and leadership practice. Next, you will reflect on the concepts presented in the articles and how you can apply them in your personal and team management and leadership practices. At the end of this task, you will have a robust portfolio of leadership concepts as you leave your program.
REQUIREMENTS

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The originality report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).

A. Using the “MSML Annotated Bibliography Template” in the Supporting Documents section, create an annotated bibliography with references for 2–5 scholarly articles you select for each of the following courses in your MSML program:

These can be found in the WGU Library or within the course.

Note: Students transferring credits from other programs towards completion of the MSML program are still required to create an annotated bibliography for 2-5 scholarly articles for each of the transferred courses in order to demonstrate overall mastery of the course material required in the MSML program. 

Each article reference in the annotated bibliography should contain the following:

• a synopsis of the article’s contents, including key points
• a description of why this article is important from a management and leadership perspective
