...Citations and APA Format When writing any kind of paper or essay, it is essential that you give credit to the sources that you use; you do this by appropriately citing these sources in parenthetical citations within your paper and in a reference list at the end of the paper. Failing to appropriately cite sources—either intentionally or unintentionally—is a serious academic violation called plagiarism. You should never represent someone else’s work or ideas as your own. Any time you have taken a statement, a fact, or even an idea from another author, you must cite it. A good rule to go by is that if you are in doubt about whether something must be cited, do it to be safe. Certain types of material always require citation, and others do not. Material That Requires Citation How to Cite: Citations should include the author, date, and page number of the source—(Author’s last name, year, p. #). Direct Quote: Direct quotes always require a citation. • Shame is most simply a sense that one’s self is bad. According to Goldberg, it is a “conviction that in some important way one is flawed and incompetent as a human being” (1991, p. 191). Paraphrase/Summary: A paraphrase takes a short section of text and restates the ideas in different words. A summary does the same but generally involves a larger portion of text. You might paraphrase the idea of a few sentences or a paragraph, and you might summarize the results of an entire study. A paraphrase of the Goldberg quote above might...

...Photosynthesis and Respiration Dana L. Houston, BSN, RN BIO/240 October 26, 2015 Tomas Oberding Photosynthesis and Respiration This paper will describe a journey through a plant process of photosynthesis and respiration. This paper will also describe the parts of the plant that is encountered and how it is modified at each stage. Then it will discuss the other molecules and entities that are met along the way at each of the five main stages. Furthermore, it will explain the effects on molecules and the writer. Next, it will conclude the journey by using word formulas for photosynthesis and respiration. Lastly, it will summarize what happens to the writer at the end of the five stage journey. Environmental scientists recognize that the fundamental source of energy for most life on earth is the sun. Through photosynthesis, plants capture the light and convert it into chemical potential energy. Plants then store the potential energy in the form of biomass. Only after an animal eats the plant is the potential energy from the sunlight released as kinetic energy for movement and growth. Photosynthesis is the chemical process by which green plants convert sunlight into sugar. In essence, this process transforms a wave of light energy into chemical potential energy, which the plant then stores in the molecular bonds of sugar molecules. The following steps will describe a journey through the photosynthesis process that occurs each time the sun’s light reaches the leaves of...

...How to Write a Reaction Paper or Reader Response. In the class BIOL449 you will be asked to write a personal reaction to a variety of materials (journals, videos etc.) It is important that you learn to write a personal reaction well. Blow is an introduction how to write good reactions. Following the instructions below will result in excellent assessments. Critical reading: "A reader response asks the reader [you] to examine, explain and defend her/his personal reaction to a reading. You will be asked to explore why you like or dislike the reading, explain whether you agree or disagree with the author, identify the reading's purpose, and critique the text. There is no right or wrong answer to a reader response. Nonetheless, it is important that you demonstrate an understanding of the reading and clearly explain and support your reactions. " DO NOT use the standard high school-level approach of just writing: "I liked this book (or article or document or movie) because it is so cool and the ending made me feel happy," or "I hated it because it was stupid, and had nothing at all to do with my life, and was too negative and boring." In writing a response you may assume the reader has already read the text. Thus, do NOT summarize the contents of the text at length. Instead, take a systematic, analytical approach to the text. When writing a reader response, write as an educated adult, addressing other adults or fellow scholars. As a beginning scholar, if you write...

...Reaction Paper on “Power and Weakness” by Robert Kagan Ruslan Imadiyev Florida International University Reaction Paper on “Power and Weakness” by Robert Kagan Today there are many discussions concerning a tension in transatlantic relationship between the United States and Europe. Robert Kagan, in his article “Power and Weakness”, raises interesting discussion about the difference in the way the United States and Europe conduct foreign policy, and why such a difference exists. Being neither European nor American, I this view original, but at the same time controversial on several points. The author starts his analysis by comparing how the United States and Europe handle international politics, and in particular the way they handle outside threats. The view of Robert Kagan about “Why on major strategic and international questions today, Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus”, is well justified in the first part of an article and I found it difficult to disagree with authors opinion. Modern Europe heavily relies on international law, international conventions, and international opinions, when it deals with internal or external problems. It also prefers to use commercial and economic powers over military one. These methods proved to be effective, but at the same time very time-consuming. In contrast to Europe, America prefers to solve disputes in quick and old fashion manner, heavily relying on military power, which usually meets a lot of resistance from...
