Respond to the following questions: •If you had to choose one factor that influenced Glass’s behavior at The New Republic, what would you pick? Explain why this is the straw that broke his honesty.•How could these loopholes have been avoided completely if editors had been more careful with Glass’s work? How much responsibility do you think falls on the editors?•Do you think The New Republic will ever regain its reputation? Why or why not?
Unit 4 Seminar: APA, Paraphrasing, and Quoting
This week we will discuss APA, why we use it, and how to use it correctly.
What is APA style?
A standard, agreed upon way of formatting an academic paper and documenting sources.An expectation of academic writers and of professionals in certain fields.A loyal friend who will make you look good and sound even more intelligentA somewhat boring, but not impossible task that you can learn by copying
What is the purpose of using and documenting sources?
Sources are the ways writers obtain additional information for their papers.Sources may be primary:
The writer becomes the researcher (e.g., observations, interviews, surveys, personal experience)The writer uses ‘raw data’ (e.g., the U.S. Census) that hasn’t been interpreted by others
Sources may be secondary: Scholarly books, peer-reviewed articles, etc. Sources are part of the ongoing dialog within a field of study that will include you.Why document sources?
Credit should be given for our work.‘Intellectual property’ must not be stolen.Writers will be more credible in the view of their audience. [We want that in an academic or job-related context when faculty, supervisors, clients, etc. are evaluating our work, right?]
What’s in it for me?• An opinion can’t be wrong, right?
• Doesn’t my professor/boss/co-worker/client, etc. want to hear what I think?• Who’s going to care if I have the citations and references included?• Isn’t this just another one of those “English teacher” things?• I’m tempted to just not do it. I can’t get marked down outside of a Composition class, right?
What is plagiarism?
What is plagiarism and how can it be avoided?
Styles of citation- APA, MLA, ASA, AMA. We typically use APA at Kaplan University.
Using a good reference for citation.
How are sources integrated into the paper?
Introduce the source to your audience with an attributive tag the first time it is used: According to Michael Keathley (2010, September 17), Kaplan University faculty member, students love writing and look forward to the weekly CM 107 audio seminars. Use a mixture of paraphrases, summaries, and direct quotations.Use quotations sparingly and be sure to indicate them with “quotation marks” and page/paragraph numbers.Be sure to make it a smooth transition into and out of the source information.
Title page formatting
•Header: Title and page number in upper right-hand corner of each page•Running head (optional) on the left•Center project, author, and course information in two sections of the page. Double-space.•See guidelines for formatting document in the APA folder of Doc Sharing as well as ch. 12 of the handbook.

Begin with the References page:
Reference page formatting
• Start on a new page, titled Reference(s), centered in upper- and lowercase letters.
• Include a page header and page number in the upper right-hand corner.
• Alphabetize by author’s last name.• Double-space throughout.• Use a hanging indent (1st line of each
entry flush left, indent subsequent lines 5-7 spaces).
• Match with in-text citations.• Italicize titles of books and periodicals.
Use the References page to form the in-text citations:
In-text citations always use what comes first on the References page entriesThis is always a name or the first 2-3 words of a titleAdd the copyright date and page/paragraph number if it is a direct quotationIn-text citations are never URLsMake sure that all in-text citations have a complete listing on the References page; make sure that all References page listings have in-text citationsNever cite yourself; you’re the author
Why is citation required in two places?
Citation is required in two places– as in-text citation and references page citation.
Some of the basics of in-text citation.
What we need to include for references page citation.
Let us get some citation practice.
In-text (parenthetical) citations
Require three pieces of information:Author’s last nameYearPage number (for direct quotes)
(Thompson, 2007, p. 345)(Thompson, 2007)According to Thompson (2007), “50
percent of the population have computers” (p. 345).
Formatting
Primarily, it involves the use of 3 pieces of information:
1.Source ID: By author’s last name2.When: Year of publication3.Where: Page number
EX:(Bass, 2005, pg. 26)
Paraphrasing, summarizing, and direct quotation?
What are paraphrasing and summarizing and why are they necessary? What is the correct way to paraphrase and summarize?
Why should we use more paraphrasing and summarizing than direct quotes in our papers?
When should we use direct quotation? How much of our paper should be directly quoted?
Let us get some practice paraphrasing.
Direct Quotation, Summary, and Paraphrase
There are three ways to use sources, and all three ways require that you cite the source and give credit for the information used. The three ways are
direct quotation. When you cite the source verbatim (word-for-word) you are directly quoting. This usage requires that you not only cite the source parenthetically immediately
Direct Quotation, Summary, and Paraphrase
after the quotation, but that you also put the verbatim passages in quotation marks.
summary. Whenever you sum up information in a general way, perhaps condensing a paragraph in the source into a sentence in your essay, you are summarizing. This requires a citation in parenthesis immediately following the summary.
Direct Quotation, Summary, and Paraphrase
paraphrase. If you take a sentence in the source and put it into your own words--this is more detailed than a summary--you must cite the paraphrase immediately following its use.
Formatting
APA format dictates the use of page numbers only when you have included a direct quotation.
EX: “Death is not a period that ends the sentence of life, but a comma that punctuates it to more lofty significance. “ (A Testament of Hope, 1991, p. 222)
Formatting
A word a bout punctuation:
This is a sample internal citation of paraphrased or summarized material (Bass, 2006).
* The period comes after the citation for paraphrased or summarized material.
Formatting
A word about punctuation“It is our light, not our darkness that frightens
us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.There is nothing enlightened about shrinkingSo that other people won’t feel insecure around
you.” (1992)
