Assalamualaikum. Today we are in week 8. Topic in week 8 is about APA citation. There are three sources of integration : QUOTATIONS, PARAPHRASES and SUMMARIES.
First, I would like to explain about
Quotations
use the author's words exactly and use quotation mark only for short quotation.
- we cannot use if more than 40 words.
-give the year of publication in parentheses after the writer's name and page number at the end of the quotation.
- do not forget to put a period AFTER the parentheses not before.
-must be identical to the original. There are example of quotation from book that I got from notes.
Paraphrasing
-it involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. It also attribute paraphrases to their original sources. It usually shorter than, but may same length with original passage.
- As an alternative to direct quotation. This is the example for paraphrasing.
Summarizing
- put the main ideas into your own words. besides, summarized ideas must be attributed to the original source.
-summaries are significantly shorter than the original.
-use your own words and do not use quotation marks.
- state only the most important idea or fact and use a few words as possible.
