"SEVENTH WEEK
REFLECTION"
“Tell
me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will
understand”
Week six has
finished and we started with week 7. To be honest, week 7 for me was an
interesting week. During week 7 when I entered to class I was feeling very
happy and exhilarated. When the lecturer came into the class we welcomed her
and we said Good Morning to her. The lecturer started to great us. After
greeting, she started to ask some questions about our previous lesson that
whether, we understood or no. Some of the students answered all the questions
and some of them had some problems. Furthermore, we started with week 7session
1. During week 7 we studied CITATION & DOCUMENTING INFORMATION SOURCES. First
of all we studied that what APA Style is and Why Use It? APA is an American
Psychological Association. The APA (American Psychological Association) style
has been established in 1928 by Social Science professionals. The Style
provides guidelines for publication in Social Science Journals (such as
Psychology, Sociology, Education, and Nursing). Furthermore, The Style lends
consistency and makes texts more readable by those who assess or publish them.
Moreover, we
studied Documenting Authors. By learning this lesson will help us when we do APA
report. When we do APA report we have to know the citation for one author, two
authors, three authors, four authors and so no. after that, we have studied
Rules for the Title. Below are the rules for the Title.
- ·
Capitalize only the
first alphabet word or name in the Title and subtitle.
- ·
Capitalize each
alphabet in each word in the Title of journal except for preposition.
- · Underline, bold or italic the Title and the Title of Journal.
Next, the lecturer taught us on how to do Citation for book with one, two, three and six author, Corporate Bodies as Authors, More than First Edition, Edited Books, Chapter From Books, Journal Article, Newspaper Article, Published Conference Paper, Unpublished Conference Paper, Thesis / Dissertation, Journal Article Through Internet, Journal Article Using Database and lastly On CD-ROM. After that, we had an activity it was like a kind of assessment. The lecturer wrote some example on the board and she said that I will call upon a name he/she will come and will do the citation for this example. The activity was very useful and we learned some practical examples of Citation.
Last but not
list, on the last day of week 7 we had a lab session. Again the lecturer taught
us about citation. After all, we got an assignment the assignment is about APA
report which carries 10% of the marks.
Overall, it
was an interesting week and I have learned and gained a lot of new things which
I have not known before, APA citation not only helps me in my foundation
studies It can also help me in my UGP
(under graduate studies). To be honest, I was immensely interested in this
lesson and I am looking forward to learn more about this topic.
