1/24/2019Another day of In-Class Writing

For those that were not in class today or just want to brush up on what we did today (01/24), I hope the following helps. Today in class we went over citations and their huge importance in your Senior Paper. We looked at how each format, both MLA and APA, should eventually look like. The References should be a page of their own. They should be cited properly and should be attached to the document itself. Or else, you will get an automatic zero for plagiarism. Another very good point is that in the APA format, you NEED to cite every source that has in any way helped you with your research and knowledge about the topic. As for the MLA format, you DO NOT NEED to cite every source that has given you information about the topic. However, naming these sources, even without mentioning them in your paper, will help build your credibility. Nevertheless, every source that is mentioned in your paper has to be cited, no matter the format.

Mr. Rivers also reminded us that we only have today (1/24), Friday (01/25) and Thursday (01/31) of next week, to work on our papers. Therefore, I think I need to organize and plan out my time. My plan of attack is as follows: I will look for more sources as well as information about the topic. This will make me more comfortable with the topic as I will have a clear mind as to what synthesizes with what. I hope this helps and if you have further questions please feel free to contact me or Mr. Rivers (you should probably contact him).
