UNIV 1120 Annotated Bibliography for “Athens, I Love You”
1) Young, Ben. "More Than A College Town." Georgia Trend 24.2 (2008): 73.
Supplemental Index. Web. 3 Nov. 2013.
This article’s title conveys most of it’s message, but I like this article because it talks
about what Athens has to offer other than being an ideal college town. There are so
many resources, outlets, and social settings that foster creativity and independence,
and that’s really the essence that I want to capture in my documentary.
2) Coulter, E. Merton. College Life in the Old South. Athens: University of Georgia,
1951. Print.
This book discusses more of the history surrounding the University of Georgia and
what it’s like really going to school here. I think it’s important to have a historical
perspective on the University juxtaposed with the opinions of current UGA students.
It’s interesting to see how scholars analyze UGA while students just give their
honest, raw opinions of their time here.
3) Choy, Susan P. "Access & Persistence: Findings from 10 Years of Longitudinal
Research on Students." ERIC - Access & Persistence: Findings from 10 Years of
Longitudinal Research on Students. ERIC Digest., 2002-Feb. Institute of
Education Sciences, n.d. Web. 4 Nov. 2013.
<http://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED466105>.
This web article was published by ERIC, a website sponsored by the Institute of
Education Sciences, so I feel fairly certain that their research is thorough and
accurate. This article is ten years in the making and has analyzed college students
throughout this span of ten years. I found it interesting because again it gives a
more scholarly, research-based account of college students whereas my
documentary gives a portrayal of actual, current UGA students and their opinions.
4) Wolters, Christopher A. "Self-regulated Learning and College Students'
Regulation of Motivation." Http://psycnet.apa.org. PsycNET, n.d. Web. 4 Nov.
2013. <http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/edu/90/2/224/>.
This article also discusses a study that was regulated by a professional, accredited
institution, so I know that this source is legitimate. I found it interesting, because it
talks about college students’ motivations. This is definitely relevant to my
documentary because several of the people I interviewed talked about how cool it
was to come to UGA where everyone has a motivation for coming here and studying
different things and what those motivations are.
5) Azmitia, MargaritaSyed, MoinRadmacher, Kimberley. "Finding Your Niche:
Identity And Emotional Support In Emerging Adults' Adjustment To The
Transition To College." Journal Of Research On Adolescence (Wiley-Blackwell)
23.4 (2013): 744-761. Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection. Web. 13
Nov. 2013.
This article is definitely relevant and legitimate because I found it through the UGA
Libraries website. It relates to my documentary because people I interviewed
talked about how their lives changes when coming to college and what lessons
they’ve learned since being in college.
