This week students will submit a draft review of their paper to receive feedback before submitting the final version. The draft review should include two questions about specific areas of the paper where feedback is needed. When citing sources in the paper, citations should be placed in parentheses after a paraphrased statement or direct quote and include the author's last name and date. Direct quotes also require the page or paragraph number. All citations must be listed on the reference page and cited within the paper. Completing the draft review is an important part of the writing and revising process to strengthen the paper.

Edition APA Formatting
An APA formatted paper is created using one-inch margins at the top, bottom, left, and
right sides. APA papers are always double spaced. Paragraphs are indented ½ inch. Just type the
TAB key once. The body of your paper consists of the information you researched on your
paper’s topic in order to support your own position or thesis.
If the information in your paper is not your own original thought, you need to include an
in-text citation and a references page to give credit to the original author of the idea. Your paper
should include direct quotes and paraphrasing. You will notice in this paper, there are several
different types of in-text citations, and they have been created using correct APA formatting for
in-text citations.
Types of In-Text Citations
In-text citations are used when you paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to
information you’ve learned during your research. The first two in-text citations in this paper are
examples of how to set up in-text citations when you’re paraphrasing, summarizing, or referring
to the information from a source rather than copying text word for word. They demonstrate how
to give credit to the author. For the first type of citation, place the author’s last name and the year
of publication at the end of the sentence in parenthesis (Reed, 2005). Notice the comma and
space after the author’s name and notice the period for the sentence is after the final parentheses.
Another variation is when you use the author’s name at the beginning of the sentence. In the
following sentence, you will notice that Mary Nelson’s last name only appears at the beginning
of the sentence; therefore, the in-text citation immediately follows her name. According to
Nelson (2005), the use of APA formatting for in-text citations is very easy to complete.
The paper begins with the full title of the paper.

Avoiding Plagiarism Overview
Learning how to avoid plagiarism and to cite sources properly is an essential part of your education. Because plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty and carries with it heavy penalties (in both this course and the broader academic world), I want you to learn this material thoroughly. I encourage you to revisit this page frequently throughout the course, until you feel completely comfortable with the rules of how to give credit to your sources.
You will see point values tied to your use of citations in each of your writing assignments for this course. A rubric is included with each of the assignments, so you can see how many points are associated with correct citation. More significant problems with plagiarism and failure to cite are addressed individually.
In this course, my goal is that you will learn how to:
· Paraphrase information you have gathered from a source, by writing the information in your own words.
· Place quotation marks around directly quoted text.
· Give credit to sources for both paraphrased and quoted material, by including an in-text citation.
· Include the correct information in in-text citations, including author's name and page number. (It is okay to include only the author's name when citing web sources.)
· Always include a work's cited section at the end of a paper, which includes all sources cited in the text of the paper.
· Format works cited sections correctly, according to standard MLA guidelines. (For this course, always include the full URL in web citations.)
Most students do not want to cheat, nor do they actively plan to cheat. In my experience, most of the plagiarism in this class comes from students not paraphrasing properly. I've seen a few instances of intentional plagiarism, which I think mostly comes from panic. This guide is about avoiding plagiarism altogether.
First, read a few pages on plagiarism. These pages are located at the Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab). This a very good site for all things about writing.

Citing Properly
The bottom line of writing is that if you didn't think of it yourself, you need to cite it. We will now cover ways of incorporating a source's information into your writing and then discuss how to give credit where credit is due.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing means putting information into your own words without using quotation marks. Note that paraphrasing means you are not using the source's words at all.
This website gives very clear examples of how to do this correctly:

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
