APA Format Essay APA Format As for me, I am more a free–spirited person. I don't look for religion to be in public schools. Religion is more towards private schools. In the video, it talks about religion, copyrighted laws, teacher liability, and child abuse. While watching this video, I don't think any of this will affect me when it comes to teaching. I agree as a teacher it is your responsibility when the kids are under your supervision. When a child gets hurt, you are the one to get the blame because those kids are your responsibility. I think it's best for a teacher to help those students who are being attacked. You are legally responsible for the safety of children under your supervision. The courts employ the principle of in loco parentis, which means ...show more content... As for a future teacher, I would have to disagree with the school 's administrators on religion being in public schools. When I teach my students, I would only teach them to learn and know the truth. I'm not religious; everyone has a different religion. I would teach my students the truth and what I believe they should be aware not based on what they need to know from a biblical perspective. I'm all for a school to teach religious freedom and acceptance of all religious beliefs, but "teach" religion in public school is not acceptable. If this was a Christian school or Islamic school, that is an entirely normal thing to teach religion. I don't believe that public schools should oppress kids with religion. Especially children that don't understand the religion and conform just because others show their belief. Everyone should have the choice. Private schools, on the other hand, it is up to the school. Agree or disagree doesn't matter to me. I think it's okay to teach about other religions, but not necessarily to prepare them to become part of the faith. Like if they want to do more research and become a member of that faith, cool, I don't want to force them one way or another. But I still think it's an important part of history, and an important step in breeding tolerance, to make students aware of the basics and their options I guess. Teach about it, not for it if that makes Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

APA Writing Style Essay American Psychological Association (APA) writing style exists for a reason and this reason is because writers' must give "credibility where credibility is due"(Walden Writing Center, 2015) . During my BSW program I learned this and also, the importance of integrity in college level writing. In my opinion, two aspects of APA that I think will not challenge me are direct quotations and listing references. I have to admit I prefer to quote intellecutual matter directly rather than, use paraphazing. I believe this is approriate to do if the quote you utilize is short and all of your agrguments regarding, the content of the quote, are your own ideas. Another thing that will come easily to me is listing my references. This comes easily to me because during my undergraduate education, I excelled in this area. The reason for this is because everytime I wrote a reference page I always refered to my courses APA manual. Eventhough I have had a through exposure to APA, it has been a year since I have utilized this writing style. Also, my current position does not require the use of APA. Therefore, a saying comes to mind "if you don't use it you lose it". Currently, this is my situation. As a result, Walden University's module on Passive Plagarism ...show more content... As I stated earlier, I prefer to avoid paraphazing in my writing. The reason for this is because the arguments I construst in my papers are straight forward, to the point, and my own ideas. Also, gradewise, I did not get penalized for this in my BSW program. However, Walden Univerisity's Passive Plagarism module taught me that it is ok to directly quote material, but paraphazing is strongly prefered in college level writing. During my Master of social work program, I will utilize more paraphazing in my papers. On the same note, quoting directly can be considered a more systematic approach to APA Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Reflective Essay: Why I Choose APA Format I have had many previous experiences to online writing as well as Microsoft formats since my freshman year in high school (2014). Likewise, I am currently six to eight months away from receiving my associates degree in Criminal Justice; however, I wish this course could have been available during my first term at Florida Institute of Technology to guide me on proper academic writing . In my first few months, I endlessly searched YouTube videos on how to establish the correct APA format as well as how to save that format permanently to my Microsoft Word document. By not having direct guidance, I did receive several deductions on paper assignments for improper use. With this being said, I have several expectations that I hope to receive from this Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Reflection Of APA Style Writing First of all I would like to thank you for the time and hard work you put in this semester to teach my classmates and me. This semester I learned a lot in your class such as APA style writing, how to write different format essays and Bloom's Taxonomy. In your course I not only lesrned how to become a better learner but also a better person. I still remember how nervous I was feeling the first day of class. This was my first semester attending college, which made me feel worse. Since the first day I came into your class I was expecting this course to help me improve my writting skills in English. I consider spelling to be my greatest weakness in writing because my first language is Spanish and I have a lot of trouble learning English. In this letter I will let you know what I learned and how I have met the programs standards of focus, development and clarity because I have practice APA style, writting assays and using Bloom's Toxonomy When I was in my senior year of high school, I learned a little about writing in APA style. In your course I learned that I was making some mistakes when I thought I was using APA style the correct way. Something that I considered to be very helpful for me was getting the help from the librarian on how to use APA style using different kind of sources such as books, newspapers and vedios.The yellow sheet he gave us in his presentation was allot of help throughout the semester because I would always use it when It was time to do writing assignments. Learning how to properly use Apa style was very helpful for me becuse now I apply those skills on my assignments and I do a better job than befor. Now I feel way more comfortable and confident while writting. Before learning the proper way of using APA style I was always unsure If I was giving credit to the sources I was using. I'm planning on applying this writing skill in and out of class to have a clear and smooth writing when It gets to give credit to sources. Throughout the semester we practice literature by writing several essays such as diagnostic, narrative, current event and common exit essay . In all these four essays the two that I found to be the hardest ones was the narrative and the current even. I consider the narrative Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The Importance Of Writing: APA The writing assignments introduced me to APA, so this will come in handy with any other classes I take that involve using APA. Furthermore, we also went over ways to avoid maturation, history, experimenter bias etc. which will help me greatly if I have to write another research proposal. Lastly, I learned about some important studies in the Psychology field, which will help me with future Psychology classes I take. Get more content on StudyHub.Vip
APA Style Analysis APA Style Sample APA (American Psychological Association) style is primarily used in the social science disciplines. It is formatted like MLA, and shows many similarities, but is unique in several key points. APA uses parenthetical (or in–text) citations within sentences, but rather than indicating the author's name and page number, APA includes author's name and date of publication. The page number, represented with a p. or a pp., is only added to the citation when using a direct quote (not a summary or paraphrase). If the author's name is mentioned in the sentence , then place the date of publication in parentheses directly after the name. If the name is ...show more content... All of the interviewees have been called 'exceptions to the norm' (Strong & Porter, 1998, p. 565). Note the first example paraphrases an author that is named in the sentence, the second example paraphrases authors that are not named in the sentence, and the third example provides a direct quote (thus the inclusion of the page numbers) but also does not identify the authors within the sentence. If the authors were identified within the sentence in the third example, the authors' names would be followed by the year of publication and only the page numbers would be in the parentheses at the end of the quote. Finally, the bibliographic page in APA style differs from MLA, what APA calls the Reference page. You will notice a few immediate differences from the MLA Works Cited format. With APA you include the initial of the author's first name rather than the complete name, the publication date immediately follows the author's name in parentheses, and titles of articles are not surrounded with quotation marks (however titles of books, magazines, journals, etc are still underlined). The lists are still alphabetized by author's last name (or title in the absence of an author) and the first line is flush

Compare And Contrast Mla And Apa Also, many professors only teach us MLA style, but this class can teach us two types of essay, MLA and APA. I think that's great because APA also is popular, it's useful for us to know these two types of essays. And from this class, I also learned that when we are writing causal assignment, the most important reason should list at the last of all reasons rather than at the first position. At last, I have some suggestions about REVEL. I tried to do the quiz on the revel but the website said the quiz has not been assigned. However, I used it on my society class in the first semester. So I have some thoughts about it. Frankly, I don't think revel suits for our class, especially the quiz. The quiz always focuses on the contents in the text book, Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Apa Self Assessment Example 1. I believe when it comes to assessing a fellow peers work their ideas should come across clear and concise. Their grammar does not have to be perfect, but tolerable for the sake of comprehension. It should follow the American Psychological Association format (APA), in size 12 font, and Times New Roman font style. An excellent resource on APA format is Purdue Online Writing Lab. (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/) 2. I will assess all assignments as fairly as possible, I would hope the same is done for me, despite any differences I may have with the writer when it comes to their views on a particular subject. When it comes to feedback, I would try and abstain from stating my personal feelings or opposing view, only focusing on the quality of the material being presented. Overall, my response would be critical, yet positive. This would ensure an accurate and honest assessment on my behalf. Furthermore, from the Learning Guide Unit this week, Brown, Rust, and Gibbs (1994) suggested assessment may encourage a more in–depth knowledge of the material, I agree very much with this theory. By virtue of that, I will take my peers view into contemplation, this way I can think about the information from a different angle in an attempt to further my own understanding of the criteria. 3. ...show more content... During an assessment I will use The Three Domains of Learning (Bloom et. al. 1956) from the Learning Guide, mainly from the 'Knowledge Domain'. Students should be able to recall key information during discussions, and illustrate key aspects during writing assignments, this entails comprehension and is indicative of learning. In America standardized assessment is controversial because some feel it limits the overall range of education by only teaching the material present in examinations. Using this style of testing methods to assess students also can have negative effects on the child such as Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The APA writing style is most commonly used to cite sources for psychology, education, and social sciences and is also the official writing style of the American Psychological Association. The General APA Organizational Guidelines are basic guidelines that explain how to write a research paper in the APA format. These guidelines ensure clear and consistent presentation of written material that differentiates from other writing styles because it concerns elements such as: Citations, punctuation, presentation of numbers, etc There are four major sections in an APA paper. They consist of the title page, abstract, main body, and references. The title page of an APA paper has recently been changed in the publication of the sixth ...show more content... The body of an APA paper Come back to. A literature review is a type of APA paper that summarizes a scientific text about ones topic or question. A literature review focuses on a specific topic of interest and includes a critical analysis where one would compare different literature that relates to the subject of one's own work. It normally includes a title page, introduction section, and a list of references. Many confuse a literature review with an annotated bibliography , but the difference between a literature review and an annotated bibliography is that an annotated bibliography only summarizes briefly about an article that one viewed while an annotated bibliography focuses specifically on a topic. An experimental report, also know as "lab reports" is put shortly, a "story" of ones research where someone would guide a reader through their experiment. Though this "story," one would have to argue that their research is both valid and reliable, the meaning of their research, and how it relates to work that was previously written. An experimental report normally follows the scientific method and should include these following sections: Title page, abstract, introduction, method, results, discussion, references, appendixes (if necessary), and table or figures (if necessary). Because an APA paper should be as formal and scientific as possible, gender terms should not be used when they are not necessary. For example, the APA Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The Importance Of Writing In The APA Style Elizabeth, like you this is my first time as well writing in the APA style format. Honestly until starting this course I had zero idea that there was even a writing style for writing papers of this nature. I vaguely remember the first, second, and third person perspectives of writing a paper. I know that I will need to do research for future papers, and cite others. But knowing the proper way to do so is something I will be learning as we go. The use of the correct terminology, concepts, clearer languages, and punctuation will be a learning curve again for me. References and giving people the proper credit I see the need for, now to learn to do it correctly. Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

APA Reflection Paper I share the same concerns on my writing as you. The APA guidelines are a continuing source of learning of rime. It is a goal of mine to master the APA guidelines. Regarding the course writing assignments I appreciate the Rubics. It serves as a map for me when I am completing my writing assignments. The Rubic also helps with the flow of my papers. When I am writing my assignments I approach my paper as a puzzle and allow the Rubics to serve as my guide. It is easier and less complicated for me to research, write and compile my paper. It may sound a little off but the process works for me. The information in the APA writing guide is extremely helpful.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of APA Writing Style 1. I think that having formatting standards such as APA is very necessary and useful for a clear communication. When we use an editorial style, we remove the distraction of puzzling over the correct punctuation for a reference or the proper form for numbers in text. An author writing for a publication must follow the rules established by the publisher to avoid inconsistencies among journal articles or book chapters. For example, without rules of style, three different manuscripts might use sub–categories, subcategories, and Subcategories in one issue of a journal or book. Although the meaning of the word is the same (in this case, subcategories is APA Style), such variations in style may distract or confuse the reader. To sum up the need for a consistent style becomes more apparent when complex material is presented, such as tables or statistics. 2. There are advantages and disadvantages in using an APA style. Let's start with benefits: One major advantage of the APA writing style is that it encourages direct exposition of your research and emphasizes your original ideas being reported. This precision is complemented by a straightforward manuscript structure that includes a title page, abstract, body, reference list and, if applicable, appendices. Also, APA citations include a brief reference in the body of your text paired with a full citation in your reference list. Citations within the text should list last name of the author and that author's publication date, followed by a page number if the citation involves a direct quotation. In addition, the APA writing and citation style ensures you are giving adequate credit to others for prior work and allows the reader to easily track your references. What is more adopting the APA writing style guarantees that both the structure of your paper and the format of your citations are consistent throughout. The clarity of your writing along with a precise citation format works to establish your credibility, and it reflects the extent of your research. On the other side the drawbacks in using such a style are: Firstly, the APA manual has a rule for just about every aspect of writing. You will find instructions for the technical aspects of constructing a paper, Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

APA Strengths And Weaknesses APA Strengths and Weaknesses After taking the second APA workbook (Mastering APA Style) term paper familiarization test I feel even more comfortable writing in APA format than I did before I took the first test. APA is one of the few methods that I am familiar with. As much as I would lie to say that I'm an expert in it, I'm from that. Up until this class I have been utilizing tortial videos on YouTube regarding how to write in APA format. I understand that Purdue Owl is a great tool, but I'm a visual learner so I prefer to utilize YouTube since I can rewatch or slow down a video to my liking. The only thing that I have to be mindful about is that everyone on YouTube isn't correct, so I will double check with Purdue Owl if I'm hesitant about Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Importance Of Apa Format It is important to learn and use APA formatting as a student to prevent plagiarism and to properly write your paper. APA format also helps guide and reference your paper. When you write a paper you want to give credit where credit is due. You do that by documenting information you may have obtained through a video, a quote, or pictures. As a student at Bethel University plagiarism is frown upon and punishable. You get three offenses and after the third offense you will be expelled from Bethel Univerity.

APA Reflective Essay During my first few months here at Bethel I have learned quite a bit about writing. I have learned about APA writing skills, punctuation, paragraphs and time management thus far. College writing is different than what I did in high school so it has taken some learning for sure. When I wrote my unit one discussion post I wrote what and how I thought was the correct way. Looking back from know what I know now I see some things I should do done differently. "When I was younger, my favorite thing to do for vacations was to go to the Smokey Mountains in Gatlinburg."
