Today in class, we talked about credibility, how credibility is important in academic writing, and how we can make out credibility greater in our essays. Next, we reviewed APA and practiced doing in-text citations and reference page citations for an academic paper. You can download the worksheet here: APA In-text and Reference Citation Practice. The PowerPoint we used today can be found here: 6 October 2014.
