Hi Everyone. I am currently learning about APA format and citations. I know a little about this from College composition I, but I still seem to get confused. I understand the concept of citing source because this means giving credit to that person whose ideas are being used. The part of APA format I have trouble with is listing my references on the reference page. I always forget to put my sources in alphabetical order and if I may have sources that I used from a website or a article, rather than a book, I have a lot of trouble citing the source in the correct format. Although I read about proper citing techniques for these alternative sources I still seem to get them wrong. I plan on really working on this before the final project is due so I won't get points taken for incorrectly citing my sources. If anyone has any tips, I could use all the help I can get!
This week has been wild! I am attending a business convention in Las Vegas, Nevada and I will be leaving on the 27th and I will be back on the 4th of March. This will be the longest I have spent away from my kids and I am so nervous! I will be attending classes of course and meeting a lot of new people. My kids are in awesome hands! My Mother in law is going to stay with them and she is a life saver. She is a great person and the kids love her. I will probably be the one who gets home sick for the kids. My husband will be coming with me because this will be my first time in Vegas and he doesn't want me to get lost! We should have a good time together along with my business stuff. So wish me luck and good night, I have an early morning.

Jealous! Have fun in Vegas! My sister and her husband recently went to Hawaii for about a week, and yes, the kids barely knew they were gone, lol.
ReplyDeleteHello Stacy:
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Vegas, the children will be fine and when you get back all they will want to know is if you brought them something back(they will miss you too). Looking forward to reading about your trip to Vegas when you return.
Have a safe trip.
Vegas is fun, don't get overwhelmed, it is easy to do. Time away from the kids is as good for them as it is for you. Relax and enjoy. I will be in Vegas next month for my son's wedding. I am only a 5 hour car ride from Vegas, if I had an excess of disposable income, I would probably be there at least once a month. Sometimes I prefer Laughlin, it is cleaner and a little more quiet. In the summer, it is nice to be right on the river. Have fun......
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy,
ReplyDeleteMy best advice on APA reference page format is to use the Writing Center APA Quick Reference in the Extra, Extra this week.
I hope you are having fun in Vegas!
