APA Example Of Annotated Bibliography
Hello Alma, When I first introduced to the APA format by another class agenda, I was lost when it
came to internal citations and the reference page. Admittedly, I have been utilizing a writing tutor
that Kaplan offers for academic support, located in our student portal under the tab under the tab My

Woo hoo! What a bonus! Margins and Fonts 4 Margins and fonts. The top, bottom, left, and right
margins should be one inch. Use 12point font. You should use a conservative, serif font type (e.g.,
Times New Roman, Cambria). By the way, serif font means that each letter has a little ledge to
stand on. Sans (i.e., without) serif fonts (e.g., Helvetica, Calibri, and Arial) should not be used
(except in tables and figures) because they are more difficult to read and increase eyestrain
(bummer!). Do not use script fonts because some are just annoying (e.g., Braggadocia) while others
are hard to take serious (e.g., Comic Sans). Paragraphs and Spacing Paragraphs should be indented
5–7 spaces or 1/2 inch. Make sure your indent is consistent throughout the whole paper. The best
way to do this is to use the tab key on your computer. All 'sub–sub' (Hey, I got to say it again)

Examples Of APA Style
APA STYLE: The term APA Stands for "American Psychological Association" APA style is a
format for academic documents such as journal articles and books. It is modified in the style
guide of the American Psychological Association (APA), titled the Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association. The APA states that the guidelines were developed to assist
reading comprehension in the social and behavioral sciences, for clarity of communication. APA
style is widely used, either entirely or with modifications, by hundreds of other scientific journals
which includes all business, medical and other public health journal and in many textbooks and in
academia for papers written in classes. APA considers one of the major style regimes for such work.

The Title of the article should summarize the paper's main idea and identify the variables under
discussion and it shows the relationship between them. The Running head is a shortened version of
the article's full title and it is used to help readers for identifying the titles of published articles. Even
if our paper is not intended for publication, our paper should still have a running head. The Author
note should appear on printed articles and identifies each author's department and institution
affiliation and any other changes in affiliation, contains acknowledgements and any financial support
received. It also provides contact information. An author note is optional for students in writing class

Vygotsky and Piaget Theory
Vygotsky and Piaget Theory Vygotsky and Piaget Cognitive development can be described as the
process in which a person constructs their thoughts for example, remembering things, problem
solving and attention. In this essay I am going to evaluate the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky. I will
look into the weaknesses and strengths of the theories with supporting evidence and also the
similarities and the differences of the two theories. Piaget believed that children develop through the
interaction of innate capacities with environmental events (Gross 2005). He saw children as
scientists and he also argued that cognitive development consists of four evident phases the first
phase being the sensorimotor stage, the...show more content...
This is done through inner speech and verbal thought. Humans are born with the ability to interact
with others, but they could not do much for themselves. However through a gradual process, the
individual moves towards being independent and abilities become transformed through participating
in social activities. Proximal development was Vygotsky`s second aspect of his cognitive theory. He
felt that children might not be able to archive on their own. Therefore, he felt that it was important
to achieve maximum learning. Scaffolding was the next stage that involved in encouraging and
offering advice to children for example, hints and pointers on how to learn new things and solve
problems on their own. Vygotsky argued that our cognitive development involves problem solving
processes that take place due to the interaction between children and those with whom they are
regularly in contact with. The parents are the first contact then later moves on to friends, classmates
and teachers. According to Flavell (1982) and Siegal (2003), they argued that although Piaget's
theory has had great reach and significance, it has encountered criticism of some aspects of it.
Problems with his theory have gradually surfaced. Some of the similarities seen in these two theories
were that children were curious, problem solving human beings who played an active part in their
own development. They both agreed

Second, some of the findings have been contradictory. One study found that skipping breakfast
impairs certain aspects of cognition, such as problem–solving abilities (Pollitt, Lewis, Garza, &

does not significantly impair cognition. Third, not all groups of people have been sufficiently

another study focused on reaction time and accuracy, intelligence quotient, and problem solving

APA Writing Style Essay
American Psychological Association (APA) writing style exists for a reason and this reason is
because writers' must give "credibility where credibility is due"(Walden Writing Center, 2015) .
During my BSW program I learned this and also, the importance of integrity in college level
writing. In my opinion, two aspects of APA that I think will not challenge me are direct
quotations and listing references. I have to admit I prefer to quote intellecutual matter directly
rather than, use paraphazing. I believe this is approriate to do if the quote you utilize is short and
all of your agrguments regarding, the content of the quote, are your own ideas. Another thing that
will come easily to me is listing my references. This comes easily to me because during my
undergraduate education, I excelled in this area. The reason for this is because everytime I wrote a
reference page I always refered to my courses APA manual.
Eventhough I have had a through exposure to APA, it has been a year since I have utilized this
writing style. Also, my current position does not require the use of APA. Therefore, a saying comes
to mind "if you don't use it you lose it". Currently, this is my situation. As a result, Walden

As I stated earlier, I prefer to avoid paraphazing in my writing. The reason for this is because the

gradewise, I did not get penalized for this in my BSW program. However, Walden Univerisity's
Passive Plagarism module taught me that it is ok to directly quote material, but paraphazing is
strongly prefered in college level writing. During my Master of social work program, I will utilize
more paraphazing in my papers. On the same note, quoting directly can be considered a more

American Psychological Association ( Apa ) Essay
American Psychological Association (APA) Abstract American Psychological Association is the
leading scientific and professional body representing psychology in the United States of America.
This paper will discuss the purpose, structure, function, mission, benefits and resources to the
members and public at large. American Psychological Association was established in 1892 with
31nmembers and it grew rapidly after World War II. Currently, in the subfield of psychology APA
has around 30 divisions and 130,000 members who include researchers, clinicians, consultants,
educators and students. The purpose of APA is to excel as a valuable, effective and influential
organization advancing psychology as a science. The strategic goals include increasing
psychology's role in advancing health and increasing acknowledgment of psychology as a science.
The structure of APA includes an executive officer, administrative and business offices, information
technology, publishing operation office and five directorates. The directorates include education,
public interest, practice, public and member communication and science. According the official
website of APA" it seeks to advance psychology as a science, a profession, and as a means of
promoting health, education and human welfare". It also controls the use of word ''psychologist'' as
a professional title. In order to have the title psychologists one has to have a doctoral degree in

Paraphrasing is more acceptable and should be done frequently, again with appropriate references
of the author's name and publication date. Should several paragraphs be from the same reference,
each paragraph needs to have the reference at least once, usually after the first or last sentence.
However, it is appropriate to use multiple references in a paragraph. When this is done, place the
reference after each new reference so that the reader knows from where the information came. It is
critically important to look up the format for referencing in text as well as at the end of the paper.
Several variations exist depending on the type of reference, the number of authors including the use
of et al., and whether or not you are quoting from a paper document or an Internet source. In
addition, the way in which quotes are used varies depending on how the quote is framed in the
sentence and depending on length (especially if more than 40 words). For each reference, look up
the style in the manual until this information is memorized, which will not take long after writing
several papers in this program. For the reference page, notice every comma, every use of
capitalization, italicizing, and other formatting issues. This is where new students make the most
amount of errors, especially with the issue versus the number on journal articles. Finally, it is crucial
that you check the references in text and compare them

Research Paper on Adhd
RESEARCH PAPER ON ADHD Abstract Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a
neurobehavioral development disorder among children. In the United States there are at least 2
million grade school children that are diagnosed with the disorder (Dupper, 2003). ADHD is
determined to be one of the most common development disorders in children (Barlow & Durand,
2009). This paper will discuss the different aspects of ADHD, its symptoms, common traits, and the
known treatments being used by clinicians. Moreover, the paper will also touch on the important
things to consider when dealing with ADHD, particularly in the area of social work. By doing so,

content...
To get a clearer picture of the disorder, APA subdivided the symptoms according to its three most
important traits, inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness (American Psychiatric Association,
2000). As most of the symptoms of ADHD may typically be present in normal behavioral
development, APA established that only when six or more of the symptoms are present in a child
can he or she be considered as suffering from ADHD (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).
Furthermore, the child should also exhibit these symptoms within a period of 6 months or more to
completely confirm the occurrence of the disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).
Inattention is one of the distinguishable traits of ADHD (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). A
child suffering from the symptoms of inattention in ADHD would probably lag behind schoolwork,
have problems with communicating, and would struggle with cognitive activities like reading and
comprehension. APA listed a total of 9 symptoms that are crucial to identifying ADHD in children
(American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Following is the list of these symptoms and their brief
explanation: 1) Oftentimes a child will fail to give close attention to details (American Psychiatric
Association, 20000.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of APA Writing Style
1. I think that having formatting standards such as APA is very necessary and useful for a clear
communication. When we use an editorial style, we remove the distraction of puzzling over the
correct punctuation for a reference or the proper form for numbers in text. An author writing for a
publication must follow the rules established by the publisher to avoid inconsistencies among
journal articles or book chapters. For example, without rules of style, three different manuscripts
might use sub–categories, subcategories, and Subcategories in one issue of a journal or book.
Although the meaning of the word is the same (in this case, subcategories is APA Style), such
variations in style may distract or confuse the reader. To sum up the need for a consistent style
becomes more apparent when complex material is presented, such as tables or statistics.
2. There are advantages and disadvantages in using an APA style.
Let's start with benefits: One major advantage of the APA writing style is that it encourages direct
exposition of your research and emphasizes your original ideas being reported. This precision is
complemented by a straightforward manuscript structure that includes a title page, abstract, body,
reference list and, if applicable, appendices. Also, APA citations include a brief reference in the
body of your text paired with a full citation in your reference list. Citations within the text should list
last name of the author and that author's publication date, followed by a page number if the citation
involves a direct quotation. In addition, the APA writing and citation style ensures you are giving
adequate credit to others for prior work and allows the reader to easily track your references. What
is more adopting the APA writing style guarantees that both the structure of your paper and the
format of your citations are consistent throughout. The clarity of your writing along with a precise
citation format works to establish your credibility, and it reflects the extent of your research.
On the other side the drawbacks in using such a style are: Firstly, the APA manual has a rule for just
about every aspect of writing. You will find instructions for the technical aspects of constructing a

Woo hoo! What a bonus! Margins and Fonts 4 Margins and fonts. The top, bottom, left, and right margins should be one inch. Use 12point font. You should use a conservative, serif font type (e.g., Times New Roman, Cambria). By the way, serif font means that each letter has a little ledge to stand on. Sans (i.e., without) serif fonts (e.g., Helvetica, Calibri, and Arial) should not be used (except in tables and figures) because they are more difficult to read and increase eyestrain (bummer!). Do not use script fonts because some are just annoying (e.g., Braggadocia) while others are hard to take serious (e.g., Comic Sans).

  • 5. Vygotsky and Piaget Theory Vygotsky and Piaget Theory Vygotsky and Piaget Cognitive development can be described as the process in which a person constructs their thoughts for example, remembering things, problem solving and attention. In this essay I am going to evaluate the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky. I will look into the weaknesses and strengths of the theories with supporting evidence and also the similarities and the differences of the two theories. Piaget believed that children develop through the interaction of innate capacities with environmental events (Gross 2005). He saw children as scientists and he also argued that cognitive development consists of four evident phases the first phase being the sensorimotor stage, the...show more content... This is done through inner speech and verbal thought. Humans are born with the ability to interact with others, but they could not do much for themselves. However through a gradual process, the individual moves towards being independent and abilities become transformed through participating in social activities. Proximal development was Vygotsky`s second aspect of his cognitive theory. He felt that children might not be able to archive on their own. Therefore, he felt that it was important to achieve maximum learning. Scaffolding was the next stage that involved in encouraging and offering advice to children for example, hints and pointers on how to learn new things and solve problems on their own. Vygotsky argued that our cognitive development involves problem solving processes that take place due to the interaction between children and those with whom they are regularly in contact with. The parents are the first contact then later moves on to friends, classmates and teachers. According to Flavell (1982) and Siegal (2003), they argued that although Piaget's theory has had great reach and significance, it has encountered criticism of some aspects of it. Problems with his theory have gradually surfaced. Some of the similarities seen in these two theories were that children were curious, problem solving human beings who played an active part in their own development.

One study found that skipping breakfast impairs certain aspects of cognition, such as problem–solving abilities (Pollitt, Lewis, Garza, & Shulman, 1983). However, other research by M. W. Green, N. A. Elliman, and P. J. Rogers (1995, 1997) has found that food deprivation ranging from missing a single meal to 24 hours without eating does not significantly impair cognition. Third, not all groups of people have been sufficiently studied. Studies have been done on 9–11 year–olds (Pollitt et Clear transitions guide readers through the researchers' reasoning. al., 1983), obese subjects (Crumpton, Wine, & Drenick, 1966), college–age men and women (Green et al., 1995, 1996, 1997), and middle–age males (Kollar et al., 1964). Fourth, not all cognitive aspects have been studied. In 1995 Green, Elliman, and Rogers studied sustained attention, simple reaction time, and immediate memory; in 1996 they studied attentional bias; and in 1997 they studied simple reaction time, two–finger tapping, recognition memory, and free recall.

  • 9. APA Writing Style Essay American Psychological Association (APA) writing style exists for a reason and this reason is because writers' must give "credibility where credibility is due"(Walden Writing Center, 2015) . During my BSW program I learned this and also, the importance of integrity in college level writing. In my opinion, two aspects of APA that I think will not challenge me are direct quotations and listing references. I have to admit I prefer to quote intellecutual matter directly rather than, use paraphazing. I believe this is approriate to do if the quote you utilize is short and all of your agrguments regarding, the content of the quote, are your own ideas. Another thing that will come easily to me is listing my references. This comes easily to me because during my undergraduate education, I excelled in this area. The reason for this is because everytime I wrote a reference page I always refered to my courses APA manual. Eventhough I have had a through exposure to APA, it has been a year since I have utilized this writing style. Also, my current position does not require the use of APA. Therefore, a saying comes to mind "if you don't use it you lose it". Currently, this is my situation. As a result, Walden University's module on Passive Plagarism...show more content... As I stated earlier, I prefer to avoid paraphazing in my writing. The reason for this is because the arguments I construst in my papers are straight forward, to the point, and my own ideas. Also, gradewise, I did not get penalized for this in my BSW program. However, Walden Univerisity's Passive Plagarism module taught me that it is ok to directly quote material, but paraphazing is strongly prefered in college level writing. During my Master of social work program, I will utilize more paraphazing in my papers. On the same note, quoting directly can be considered a more systematic approach to APA Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Paraphrasing is more acceptable and should be done frequently, again with appropriate references of the author's name and publication date. Should several paragraphs be from the same reference, each paragraph needs to have the reference at least once, usually after the first or last sentence. However, it is appropriate to use multiple references in a paragraph. When this is done, place the reference after each new reference so that the reader knows from where the information came. It is critically important to look up the format for referencing in text as well as at the end of the paper. Several variations exist depending on the type of reference, the number of authors including the use of et al., and whether or not you are quoting from a paper document or an Internet source. In addition, the way in which quotes are used varies depending on how the quote is framed in the sentence and depending on length (especially if more than 40 words). For each reference, look up the style in the manual until this information is memorized, which will not take long after writing several papers in this program. For the reference page, notice every comma, every use of capitalization, italicizing, and other formatting issues. This is where new students make the most amount of errors, especially with the issue versus the number on journal articles. Finally, it is crucial that you check the references in text and compare them Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 14. Research Paper on Adhd RESEARCH PAPER ON ADHD Abstract Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral development disorder among children. In the United States there are at least 2 million grade school children that are diagnosed with the disorder (Dupper, 2003). ADHD is determined to be one of the most common development disorders in children (Barlow & Durand, 2009). This paper will discuss the different aspects of ADHD, its symptoms, common traits, and the known treatments being used by clinicians. Moreover, the paper will also touch on the important things to consider when dealing with ADHD, particularly in the area of social work. By doing so, it will determine why social work should be an integral part of the diagnosis and...show more content... To get a clearer picture of the disorder, APA subdivided the symptoms according to its three most important traits, inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). As most of the symptoms of ADHD may typically be present in normal behavioral development, APA established that only when six or more of the symptoms are present in a child can he or she be considered as suffering from ADHD (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Furthermore, the child should also exhibit these symptoms within a period of 6 months or more to completely confirm the occurrence of the disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Inattention is one of the distinguishable traits of ADHD (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). A child suffering from the symptoms of inattention in ADHD would probably lag behind schoolwork, have problems with communicating, and would struggle with cognitive activities like reading and comprehension. APA listed a total of 9 symptoms that are crucial to identifying ADHD in children (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Following is the list of these symptoms and their brief explanation: 1) Oftentimes a child will fail to give close attention to details (American Psychiatric Association, 20000.

  • 18. Advantages And Disadvantages Of APA Writing Style 1. I think that having formatting standards such as APA is very necessary and useful for a clear communication. When we use an editorial style, we remove the distraction of puzzling over the correct punctuation for a reference or the proper form for numbers in text. An author writing for a publication must follow the rules established by the publisher to avoid inconsistencies among journal articles or book chapters. For example, without rules of style, three different manuscripts might use sub–categories, subcategories, and Subcategories in one issue of a journal or book. Although the meaning of the word is the same (in this case, subcategories is APA Style), such variations in style may distract or confuse the reader. To sum up the need for a consistent style becomes more apparent when complex material is presented, such as tables or statistics. 2. There are advantages and disadvantages in using an APA style. Let's start with benefits: One major advantage of the APA writing style is that it encourages direct exposition of your research and emphasizes your original ideas being reported. This precision is complemented by a straightforward manuscript structure that includes a title page, abstract, body, reference list and, if applicable, appendices. Also, APA citations include a brief reference in the body of your text paired with a full citation in your reference list. Citations within the text should list last name of the author and that author's publication date, followed by a page number if the citation involves a direct quotation. In addition, the APA writing and citation style ensures you are giving adequate credit to others for prior work and allows the reader to easily track your references. What is more adopting the APA writing style guarantees that both the structure of your paper and the format of your citations are consistent throughout. The clarity of your writing along with a precise citation format works to establish your credibility, and it reflects the extent of your research. On the other side the drawbacks in using such a style are: Firstly, the APA manual has a rule for just about every aspect of writing. You will find instructions for the technical aspects of constructing a paper, Get more content on HelpWriting.net

E –mail: cmcelroy1@liberty.edu Synthesis Paper The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate proper use of the current APA format in a term paper, demonstrate proper use of one of the research methods studied in this course, reflect on what I have learned in this course and reflect on the course content as critiqued from a biblical, Christian perspective. A synthesis is a written discussion that draws on one or more sources. Writing a synthesis essay requires the ability to understand the infer relationship between essays, articles, fiction, and also non–written sources, such as lectures, interviews, observations. This paper I will use myself as a case study to examine what I have learned throughout this semester and research. The Subject: Christina The subject for this case study is a 20 – year old young lady, name Christina. This is Christina's first time taking a research class on online. At first, she actually considered taking the class residentially because she wanted to learn about different types if research methods, but then she decided to take it online because people told her that it was hard in class and consist of the extreme amount of group work.

  • 20. Solving Problems in APA Style Format This week assignment required to solve three problems derived from our text book in a mathematical essay APA style format. First am going to start by solving all three problems and later putting in words explaining the steps used in solving the problems including all mathematical and describe how and why this is applicable to my everyday life. The first part of the problem request to rewrite the expression (P dollars is invested at annual interest rate r for 1 year. If the interest is compounded Semiannually, then the polynomial P (1+r/2)2 represents the value of the investment after1 year. And to also Evaluate the polynomial resulting from step 1 using P = $200 and r = 10%, and P = $5670 and r = 3.5% 1. First let me start with the first part of the question, which is rewriting the expression without parentheses. I am using the FOIL method by multiply the pairs: front, outside, inside, etc. P(1+r/2) ^2 The original expression P(1+r /2)*(1+r/2) A squared quantity multiplies itself P(1+r/2+r/2+r^2/2 The expression after FOIL was carried out P(1+r+r^2/4) Like terms are combined with r/2 + r/2 = r P+Pr+Pr^2/4 The P is distributed across the trinomial Usually traditional polynomials are in descending order of the variable r, but I notice that this one is in ascending order with the highest exponent in the last term instead of the first term. Now I can evaluate the first expression by plugging in P = $200 and r 10% = 0.1 interest rate as in decimal P+Pr+Pr2/4 the Get more content on HelpWriting.net

It would be helpful to describe dependent variables in this subsection as well. Measures This section describes the tests or instruments used to collect data. It would be appropriate to describe any questionnaires that you used. For example, if you used the MarloweCrowne Social Desirability Scale in your research, you may say that the Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MCSD; Crowne & Marlowe, 1960) comprises 33 true–false items that measure social desirability. You would also provide the reader with information regarding the MCSD scores' reliability and validity. Do this for each and every measure used in the study.
