Week 8: APA Citation

This week I learn about what is APA cittion. Like before this I learn how to do APA report and we have to submit next week no matter what happened. But, this week I learn about APA citation. First, quotations, paraphareses, and summaries come from source Integration. This refer to work that leads up to the work you are now doing. For examples; give examples of several points of view on a subject.
          After that, choosing text to integrate. First, read the entire text, noting the key point and main ideas. After that, summarize in your own words. Next. Paraphrase the important supporting points and lastly, consider any words, phrases, or brief passages that you believes should be quoted directly.

          There have 6 steps to effective paraphrasing:
1.   Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
2.   Set the original aside, and write your paraphrase on a note card.
3.   Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later how you envision using this material. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
4.   Check your rendition with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information in a new form.
5.   Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you have borrowed exactly from the source.
6.   Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can credit it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into your paper.

          There must have author or title, year and page for signal phrases and In-text citation. That what I understand from APA citation. Not really hard to understand and not easy to remember all. -_-‘’ . this week we have test 1, and we have to submit written report in week 10, then present it. How embarrassing?? L
