To capitalize on what was said earlier this week, citations were again reviewed as a part of our "in class" but not really portion. The "key pieces" - author, date of publication, page/paragraph number - were again mentioned as an important thing to remember. I also learned about the in-text citation which is so easy to mix up. Generally an in-text citation would appear (last name(s), year of publication). The page/paragraph number will only be used when using direct quotes or data/statistics.
I also learned about the rule while placing an entire paragraph into a paper. When doing so, the entire paragraph should be indented.
As part of our homework for the week, we were in charge of reading the different paragraphs and listing which citation was incorrect. After beginning my own work, I started to realize and catch on to the rules and little things that were otherwise looked past. How ironic right? Hopefully that grade will be okay as I now understand the work much better!
