Description
This assignment will be one of several throughout of PhD program. One of the core competencies necessary to succeed in a doctoral program is the ability to identify other research that pertains to your own. This means you'll have to identify similar research, read the papers, and assimilate prior work into your own research. An annotated bibliography helps you develop and hone these research skills.
This assignment is listed on the syllabus as "Major research paper" .This paper will be an annotated bibliography, specifically focusing on the topic of using simulations for policy making. The papers you select must address how IT is used to model behavior for policy making.
Paper must be in correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at five (5) resources, ALL of which must:
1) Be current. Published within the last few years.
2) Be peer-reviewed.
3) Relate directly to using simulations for policy making. The papers you select must address how IT is used to model behavior for policy making.
USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!!
Remember that an annotation is not the same as an abstract. Abstracts are descriptive. Your annotations are to be evaluative and critical. Give enough information for professor to decide if he is interested enough to read the paper, and also how you perceive the paper. Don't go skimpy on these annotations, but DO NOT write too much here. Quality is far more important that quantity. This exercise is for each of you to demonstrate that you can identify, categorize, and digest multiple research papers.
Every resource that choose must be peer reviewed. That means the paper must have undergone a formal peer review before being published in a journal or presented at a conference. You must ensure that your resources have undergone rigorous reviews. In most cases, you can find out the review process for a conference or journal by visiting the appropriate web site. Do not simply assume that a resource is peer reviewed - check it out.

Using Simulations For Policy Making
Bursens, P., Gijbels, D., Donche, V., & Spooren, P. (2018). Learning from simulations of
decision-making. In Simulations of Decision-Making as Active Learning Tools (pp.
13-19). Springer, Cham.
In the article, the authors have focused on political and educational science. The authors
have addressed how simulating decision making is fostered in a learning environment. In
political science, students play the role of political actors and simulate real-life decision making.
The authors have also used other advocates in the simulation of decision making and argued
about the positive effect of simulation. Thus, the authors have been able to show how simulation
plays a significant part in reducing the gap between education and work. Therefore, simulation
helps to provide work experience to the students and equip them with adequate public speaking,
negotiation, critical thinking, and presentation skills. The authors have also analyzed the costs
and benefits of a simulation project and evaluated whether the simulation is used to enhance
decision making in financial services. Some of the benefits that a student can get from simulation
include an increase in interest in a specific topic an...
