A student must be capable of formulating cohesive essays with lucid purpose. If I work sedulously but without skill, I will only receive a mediocre grade. However, if I work assiduously and genuinely learn and utilize what is taught, I will succeed in this course and make above-average grades. The AP English Language and Composition course will teach students to write for a different audience, one that simultaneously consists of the entire…
Learning Guide Unit 2 Written Assignment For the Unit 2 Writing Assignment you will write a 2-3 page paper and describe in detail, one type of ethical philosophy that is of interest to you. Although you may pick one that you can identify with, you do not have to pick an ethical philosophy that you agree with; it can sometimes be interesting to learn more about thinking that is different from your own. Explain how that ethical type can make sense while considering ethical and moral decisions (focus on types, not specific philosophers). 1.…
The Process of Effective Writing Green (2011) states that APA and good writing is a long term process (p.69). The writing process has always been difficult for me. My writing has improved with the help of my instructors, online resources, and the college writing center. In order to write effectively at the graduate level, I will need to refer to the various writing resources that are made available. According to Green (2011)... graduate assignments need to reflect the appropriate level of critical thinking relative to the degree.…
Many students weren’t introduced to MLA or APA formatting before being admitted into college. Therefore, they must spend extra time…
At the beginning of the course I thought I was an “okay” writer. A lot of times I didn’t realize the mistakes that I was making even after reviewing my writings myself because I would correct these small detail in my head as I read loud. What I noticed that I did a lot in my writings before was use “you” a lot, frequent verb tense errors, and I also had to get use to using the Purdue OWL APA format. Over the past weeks my writings have gotten better from very minimal verb tense errors if any and I think that I have the hang of the APA format. To continue strengthening my writing I will make use of the thesaurus more often to minimize “clutch” words or repetition and increase my vocabulary.…
APA style of writing has been a huge part of my college career. Although this particular writing technique can be challenging at times, I believe my APA writing skills have become more developed as I have been required to utilize them more in each class. APA adds consistency and clarity in any writing by taking the emphasis off of how information is presented and focuses on the information itself. In the beginning, when I was learning the ins and outs APA, I was thoroughly confused in every way.…
When writing a paper quotation can potentially add significance and value to a paper when used correctly. However, when submitting a properly cited APA paper or essays at Bethel University, the student will not utilize more than “15% direct quotations” (Bethel University, 2014, p. 8). The reason for minimizing the direct quotes within a student’s writing is two-fold. First, when using excessing quotes, the writer loses their voice and ideology, and the chance of plagiarizing the source is considerably higher (Ridley, 20??). Secondly, numerous quotes tend to interrupt the flow of the work and can cause boredom in the reader.…
It is required of papers that are submitted for peer review to be in this format. I, for one, have a very hard time remembering all of the rules in APA formatting. I have to continuously look back into the writing center for guidelines as I work on referencing cited work.…
I had no idea what APA format was or how to cite properly. However, the APA citations links that my professor provided were very useful and helped me be successful with the rest of my essays. The videos guided me step by step and were very simple to understand other different type of formats such as MLA, and Chicago. Another resource that was very helpful, were the online class discussions. Online discussions not only helped me interact with my classmates, but helped me broaden my knowledge about the material.…
My undergraduate years have taught me to use keys works to get the information I desired. My major weakness for APA is summarizing or quoting an idea. I believe this weakness happens because I want to use the whole research paper instead of using ideas or certain information.…
The American Psychological Association (APA) style writing was first founded in 1929 by some Scientist and Businessmen to provide some consistency in writing styles (Bethel University, 2014). APA style writing covers elements such as abbreviations, punctuation, and the most important for the students of Bethel University in-text citations and references. Some of the disadvantages are that APA style writing can be confusing sometimes because of the in-text citations and references. If you do not properly know how to cite a reference it can become tough, and that is how plagiarism begins (Bethel University, 2014).…
They all use APA Manual and some widely accepted subsections for formatting, as well as using experimental designs, quantitative data, questions like “how and why”, and field and textual research as modes of inquiry. These patterns are widely accepted because they provide an immense sense of organization to the paper, while providing data that can be recognized as solid evidence. In other words, these established similarities allow researchers to obtain coherence, and find their own rhythm as a…
Written language is a trait known to be only possessed by mankind. Although other species may have audible forms of communication, man is able to record and document his thoughts, feelings, or events that have unfolded in a way that can be viewed multiple times without him having to use his voice over and over. Literacy is a skill that adults in the United States are expected to have; but the level of your literacy says a lot about you and can have a tremendous impact on what career you end up in. For this reason, this college English class is a requirement for all those seeking a degree. Not only did I learn how to think of subjects and topics more objectively, but I learned a multitude of different modes and strategies I can employ in my writing.…
