APA Reflection

Decent Essays
Good evening class,
While I feel I have a good understanding of APA style, I have begun to second guess myself in terms of my structure. For example, I have had to research how to properly reference someone’s work. While I have utilized several resources to overcome this issue, I have come to realize that I still need some practice. While I don’t really have a question, I do recognize that I will have to better familiarize myself with the APA requirements as I don’t want to needlessly loose points :-))
In terms of how I would address questions I have, my starting point for assistance will be the internet. I have found several sites that not only validate the formatting but also help to modify the content into the correct format.
As far

    Hello Dr. Williams, Thank you for responding to my e-mail, and yes I had to reach out to you when I realize the mistake. The assignment was totally demolished and I am here working on it.

    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.…

    A wise man by the name of Mortimer Alder once said, “The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.” We never outgrow the ability to learn, so we should continue to strive to learn something new daily. During the past semester while taking Composition II, I learned a myriad of things that are going to help me in my future such as how to properly cite in MLA format, how to not plagiarize, and how to become more organized. Before this class, I never knew the right way to write MLA format papers or cite. However, during this class I learned what information needed to be included in the citations as well as the format the citation had to be in.…

    The Fundamental Aspects of Writing and Basics of APA Formatting Style One of the fundamental elements of writing is the central idea. This central idea is also referred to an argument or thesis. It represents the main theme, which the author supports with subordinate ideas. As individuals develop any formal submittal, they must focus on a clear and well-stated argument that they will use facts and evidence to support. Besides, these ideas must be arranged in a sequential and logical manner in order to portray the thoughts of the writer (Williams, 2015).…

    Reflective Statement Before the interactive oral on the impact of translations in the understanding of novels, I never regarded the influence of a translation on my understanding. While reading The Stranger, I knew the book had been translated from French, but disregarded that the translation might lead to alterations of words or ideas based on the style of the translation. With books originally written in one’s own language, it becomes easier to derive meaning closer to the author’s intentions as meaning through translating the language. However, after the Interactive Oral, I have a greater awareness of such aspects.…

    Isaac, you brought up many good details that could certainly be overlooked by learners as we work feverishly to write the body of the essay. I think it is very important to go through the APA manual as there are so many specific rules that must be adhered to throughout the scholarly work. It feels rather strange for me to write in APA style as it is a learned skill. Each time I review the manual I learn something new. Reading your post reminded me of a professor who once told me, “The devil is in the details”.…

    “An APA formatted paper follows guidelines in regards to voice, point of view, and clarity” (Cooper, unknown date, para. 5). While many are mindful that the format has set rules for structuring a paper, it also discusses the ins and outs of grammar that will help any student. In addition, it helps expand a student’s critical thinking skills. It advocates unbiased writing and asks students to ensure that their paper has a neutral aspect. This includes bypassing the use of gender pronouns and making sure that there is no bias enclosed in any of the…
