Hello one and all.,
Unit 4- Citations, Plagiarism, APA formatting. - Wow, lots of reading to go through, it has been a hectic three days for me and the hubby... Our three year old granddaughter was admitted to hospital for Oxygen level droppings, high WBC, and elevated temp of 104.5 (we ended up having the other two girls, whom are 4 years and 8 months- stay with us for two nights and three days). Speak of being worn out. (I finally realized, I'm not as young as I once was. LOL).
Any way: Citations are very important in the professionals standpoint., we do not want to over step our boundaries. We need to give credit where it is due and not use others words without giving them that recognition.
Whether the citation is word for word (Quoting), paraphrasing (Using our own words to express another's thoughts and words), or summarizing (shortening the original version) using your own words.- One must still give credit to the original author.
One should also be sure to use the citations in full when referencing.- This is done at the end of a paper...Use the full Title of the book, article, or journal, the year of which it was published, the Authors name.
Well, I shall catch everyone in seminar later this evening, or at least those whom attend.
Later- Maddie

Hello Madelyn,
It sounds like you really have your hands full with such a big family. I spend lots of time baby-sitting my two granddaughters in Florida when I am home. I have been visiting my other daughters and granddaughter in Memphis for almost two months. It has been great, but now it is time to go home. I fly home Sunday.
This web article has some neat graphics. I always google topics to get ideas about library research.

I have become more and more interested in bone and muscle issues since I was in my accident in September and have been receiving physical therapy.

I hope you can use something in these.
Professor Feraldi,
Hopefully this is the proper way to do this.
I appreciate your comments and suggestions. I am sure that I will be able to find some useful material within the sites you have given me.
Thank you,
Maddie
