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
