"EIGHT WEEK
REFLECTION"
Week 7 has finished and week started with week 8. To
be honest week 8 was for me an interesting week and I have learned and gained a
lot of new things which I have not known before. We started with week 8 session
1 Citation & Documenting Information Sources. The lecturer gave us brief
information about Citation & Documenting Information Sources. Firstly, we studied
Documenting Online Journals. After studying this lesson I am fully able to
understand how to do citation for Documenting Online Journals. Next, we had a
discussion during discussion we had to response for a question the question
was, How do you do the bibliography if the information that you get is from
website. We all have tried our best to find the best answer for the question
which has been given us during discussion. The activity was immensely
interesting and i have gained some experience and learned about bibliography.
Furthermore, we studied Choosing Text to Integrate. Choosing Text to Integrate
are ….
- Read the entire
text, noting the key points and main ideas.
- Summarize in your
own words what the single main idea of the essay is.
- Paraphrase
important supporting points that come up in the essay.
- Consider any
words, phrases, or brief passages that you believe should be quoted
directly.
Moreover, we studied about Quoting. Quotations must be
identical to the original.
• Quotations use a narrow segment of the source.
• They must match the source document word for word and
must be attributed to the original author.
• Use quotes when the actual words are so integral to
the discussion that they cannot be replaced.
• Use quotes when the author’s words are so precisely
and accurately stated that they cannot be paraphrased.
Last but not
list, we have also studied paraphrasing. Below are some tips on how to do paraphrasing.
“Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source
material into your own words”
• Attribute paraphrases to their original sources.
• Paraphrases are usually shorter than, but may be the
same length as the original passage.
• Paraphrases take a more focused segment of the source
and condense it slightly.
Over all, the
information which I have learned in class was immensely useful and it can help
me a lot in my studies. After studying these lessons I am fully able to
understand that what citation is all about and how to apply that. To be honest,
it was a precious week for me and I have gained and learned a lot of new
things.
Sincerly,
