*** WHAT SHOULD YOU CITE?
**** QUOTING
- Are  you quotiing  two or  more consecutive  words from  a
  source, Then the  original source should be  cited and the
  words or phrase place in quotes

**** PARAPHRASING
- if an idea or information  comes from another source, even
  if you put it in your own words, you still need to  credit
  the source
**** General VS. UNFAMILIAR KNOWLEDGE
- you do not need to  cite material which is accepted common
  knowledge, if in doubt  whether your information is common
  knowledge or not, cite it.

**** FORMATS
- We usually think of books and articles, However if you use
  material from websites flims,  music, graphs, tables, etc,
  you'll also need to cite these as well

*** HOW TO USE APA FORMAT AND QUOTING
- When usiing APA format, follow  the author- date method of
  in-text citation,  This means that the  author's last name
  and the year  of publication for the  source should appear
  in the text.
      Ex. (Jones, 1998)

- One complete  reference for  each source should  appear in
  the reference list at the end of the paper

- If you are not referring to  an idea from another work But
  NOT directly  quotiing the material, or  makinig reference
  to an entire  book, article, or other work,  you only have
  to make  reference to the  author and year  of publication
  and not te page number ini your in-text reference

- On  the  other  hand,  if  you  are  directly  quoting  or
  borrowing from  another book, you should  include the page
  number at the end of  the parenthetical ciitation, Use the
  abbreviation "p."  (for one  page) or (pp.)  (for multiple
  pages) before listing  the page number(s), use  an en dash
  before listing the ranges, For example, you might write

               "(Jones, 1998, pp. 199-201)"

 - This information is reiterated below
 - NOTE: Regardless of how  they are referenced, all sources
   that are cited must appear in the end of the paper.

**** IN-TEXT CITATION CAPITALIZATION, UOTES AND ITALICS/UNDERLINING
- Always capitalize proper pronouns, including author names
  and initials
                      "D. Jones"

- If you refer  to the title of a source  within your paper,
  capitalize all words that are four letters long or greater
  within  the  title of  a  source:  Permanence and  Change,
  Exceptions apply  to shohrt  words that are  verbs, nouns,
  pronouns, adjectives and adverbs

  Ex. Writing New Media, There is Nothing Left to Lose

- Note: In your references list, only the first word a title
  will be capitalized:
  
  Ex. Writing new media

**** TITLES
- When   capitalizing  titles,   capitalize  both   words  a
  hyphenated compound word

  Ex. Natural-Born Cyborgs

- Capitalize the first word after a dash or colon

- If the title  of the work is italicized  in your reference
  list, Italicize it, and use case capitalization in text:

  Ex. American Mindl The Wizard of Oz: Friends.

- If the title  of the work is italicized  in your reference
  list   se   double   quotation  marks   and   title   case
  capitalization

  Ex. Multimedia Narration: Construction Possible Worlds;
  "The One Where Chandler Can't Cry"

**** SHORT QUOTATIONS
  If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to
  include the  author, year of publication  and page number
  for the reference (preceded by "p." for a single page and
  "pp."   for a  span  of muiltiple  pages,  with the  page
  numbers seperated by an en dash

  You can introduce the quotation  with a signal phrase that
  inicludes the  author's last  name follow  by the  date of
  publication in parentheses

  Ex.  Jones (1998)  found "students  often had  difficulty
    using APA style" (p. 199)

**** CHEATSHEET
    Signal Phrase = According to..
    Parathetical Citation = inside a parenthesis

**** LONG QUOTATIONS
  Place Direct quotations  that are 40 words or  longer in a
  free  standing   block  of  typewritten  lines   and  omit
  quotations. Start  the quotation  on a new  line, indented
  1/2 inch from the left margin

  "Direct quotations from sources  that do not contain pages
  should not reference  another logical identifying element:
  a paragraph, a chapter number,  a section number, a table,
  number,  or something  else. Older  works (like  religious
  texts) can also  incorporate special locations identifiers
  like verse numbers"

  In short:  pick a substitute  for page numbers  that makes
  sense for your source
