The document discusses the importance and purpose of referencing sources in academic work. It states that referencing allows readers to know where evidence was found to support an author's opinions, and that there are different referencing styles, with APA style used at DBS School of Arts. The advantages of referencing outlined are to strengthen arguments, give credit to other authors, prove secondary research was conducted, avoid plagiarism, and establish credibility. The document then provides guidance on directly quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing other works and how to properly cite them.

This section of Preparation for Higher Education focuses on Academic Referencing. This section is designed to expand upon the information in the study skills section of the SWAPWest Preparation for Higher Education Materials.
In this section, you will learn how to reference the sources of information that you use to write essays or reports. You may feel a bit worried about referencing your written work if you have never had to do it before. However, once you understand the theory behind it and try it out a few times, you will find that it is actually quite easy to do.

Essay #1Taking a Position on Food Due by 1159pm on Sunday.docxSALU18
Essay #1:Taking a Position on Food
Due by 11:59pm on Sunday April 23rd
We manipulate the planet and all of its creatures. We create, we consume, we build, and we
destroy, but how often do we consider the processes and people that provide unceasingly for our
unquenchable appetites? How often do we consider the consequences? This essay asks that you
consider the inner (and outer) workings of the US food system and then take a position on a
narrowed down aspect of it.
During this project we might ask ourselves any combination of the following: where does our food
come from, and at what cost? How have our foods been processed, conceived, even constructed, and then shipped and
stored? How do we treat the animals we eat? How should we treat them? How are they killed? How conscious are
we of the world we are taking from every single day? Where do we fit in? What do we have to say?
To accomplish your task, you will be using pairings of articles I provide in order to take part in
an ongoing conversation about food. These readings will require you to look closely at what we
eat and how our consumption shapes the world, in both positive and negative ways.
You will need to first consider our relationship with food and the consequences of our eating
habits, on individuals, societies, and the planet that we share, then narrow down your focus to an
individual and focused topic/idea, which you will then research independently so that you might
enter into a scholarly conversation. The goal of this essay is to either make your own claim about
your subject, or to support an already established claim with rational and logical reasons and
evidence in order to convince your reader to take up the same position that you hold.
This essay need not be a soapbox for any political agenda; instead, we are looking for a balance
in rhetorical strategies. Using ethos, pathos, and logos effectively means respecting all viewpoints
while backing up your claims with reputable sources and logical insights/analysis.
In the wise words of Christopher Hitchens: “That which can be asserted without
evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
While I value each and every one of your opinions, scholarly readers are less forgiving. Imagine
your audience to be educated readers who are familiar with the topic and themes we will be
exploring. These readers will expect you to back up your claims, and to use reputable sources.
See the end of this prompt for paper specifics / requirements.
Reading and Research
I am providing you with a group of food-related readings. Some of the readings will be
mandatory, as in I expect everyone to read them and use them in their papers. The others are
paired options that you will choose from. Each reading will be labeled on the Module I introduce
it as either mandatory or optional. They are also listed at the end of this prompt.
Make sure to take detailed notes of the sources you do read. It is alw ...

The Thesis StatementThe One Sentence That Will Change Your L.docxssusera34210
The Thesis Statement
The One Sentence That Will
Change Your Life (Or Your Grade)
Components of a Thesis Statement
One concise sentence
Conveys topic
Conveys which side you are arguing
Briefly lists the main reasons you will use to support your argument.
One possible formula:
“Claim/argument BECAUSE Reason 1, Reason 2, and Reason 3.”
Where is the Thesis Statement?
Depending on the kind of paper you’re writing, the thesis statement can appear in a variety of places. But MOST often, the thesis statement comes at the very end of the first paragraph. It’s often the last sentence of your introduction.
Examples
Taylor Swift should be allowed to trademark phrases such as ‘this sick beat’ from her new album 1989 because these phrases are recognizable by consumers as Swift’s creations, and Swift deserves the proceeds from merchandise inspired directly by her music.
Old Ox Brewery should not have to submit to Red Bull’s requests because these two companies produce different products, their labels are already distinguishable, and Old Ox Brewery is so small that it is unlikely to threaten Red Bull’s profits.
Scientists should not be able to patent genetically engineered DNA because it is impossible to prove ownership of entire DNA sequences, and both the science community and laypeople would benefit from openly sharing new ideas to advance medical technology.
Note that the words in red are the “claim,” the argument you’re making. The claim is followed by TWO or THREE reasons the author will use to support, back up, prove his claim. The word “because” joins the claim and the reasons.
Discuss with students how each of these examples highlight the topic, side, and reasons. VERY IMPORTANT.

The “Goldilocks” of Thesis Statements
Mistake 1: Too broad, or too narrow
Mistake 2: Too easy to prove, or too difficult to prove
5
1: Too Broad, Too Narrow
Remember, you want your claim/argument to be specific enough to prove in 4-5 pages.
Too Broad:
You shouldn’t be able to trademark words and phrases.
Too Narrow:
Taylor Swift makes enough money through concerts alone.
Just Right: Taylor Swift should not be able to trademark phrases from her album 1989 because many of these phrases are not original, merchandise companies should be able to profit from Swift’s fans, and Swift will make enough money through concerts alone.
6
2: Too Difficult to Prove, Too Easy to Prove
In research writing, you want to avoid claims that are too opinionated – that is, claims that can’t be disproven, as well as claims that are too obvious – everyone already agrees with you!:
Too Difficult to Prove/Too Opinionated:
“I think big companies are stupid and need to stop squashing small, innocent, helpless companies.”
Too Easy to Prove/Too Obvious:
“Red Bull and Old Ox Brewery both use similar logos, and bulls and oxen can be difficult to distinguish.”
Just Right: Old Ox Brewery should grant Red Bull’s requests because Red Bull was established much ea ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
Referencing and zotero (arts)
1.
2.
Although an assignment is your own opinion, it needs to
be backed up by evidence (research, reports, case studies,
theories, etc. ).
Referencing is how we allow the reader to know which
evidence you used, either to formulate or back up your
own opinion.
There are many different referencing styles, in DBS School
of Arts the APA (American Psychological Association) style
is used. Specifically the style found in the “Cite them
Right” series of books.
Referencing: What is it
and Why bother
3.
To give weight to your argument, the more evidence
supplied the better.
Go give credit to those whose knowledge you’ve utilised
To prove that you conducted your own secondary
research.
To avoid committing plagiarism.
To establish academic credibility.
To instruct others where to find the information that you
used (reference lists are a great source of information).
The Advantages
4. 1. Direct Quote
When using someone else exact words, always place them
within “quotation marks”. Treat long quotes (40+ words) as
separate paragraph.
2. Paraphrase
Instead of using a direct quote you can re-write someone
else’s idea or theory in your own words. This is called
paraphrasing. However, you must completely re-write the
original text – you cannot simply change it around a little!
3. Summarise
If you want to give a brief synopsis of the entire content of
another work, you can briefly summarise it without going into
a lot of detail.
HOW TO CITE…
5. Direct Quote
Only quote directly from a text when it's important for
your reader to see the actual language used by the author
of the source.
Use a direct quote to make an observation/claim
(definition).
Or
Make you observation/claim and then back it up by
inserting a quote.
Example
Research has shown that “acts of plagiarism are often conflated with
other intellectual property crimes…” (Lampert, 2008, p. 15).
Reference List
Lampert, L. D. (2008). Combating student plagiarism: an academic
librarian's guide. Oxford: Chandos.
6. Paraphrasing
Preferred method to cite academically for numerous
reasons.
The flow of the language is maintained.
The author demonstrates knowledge by
articulating in own words.
Plagiarism incidents reduced.
Example
Reference List
Jobber, D., & Lancaster, G. (2006). Selling and sales management.
Harlow: Financial Times/Prentice Hall.
Original text must
be completely
rewritten when
paraphrasing!
Original Paraphrased
In some cultures selling and trade in general
have low social approval. A company selling
overseas may thus have difficulty in recruiting
appropriate sales personnel.
Finding local employees to sell products in
foreign countries can be challenging, as
trading may not be viewed in as favourable as
light as in the company’s home country.
(Jobber and Lancaster, 2006, p. 178)
7. Summarising
Very like paraphrasing, except a complete body of work
(book/chapter) is summarised in the author’s own words.
Normally a quick description of the main points or a brief
synopsis.
You should include a signal or phrase to identify
who/what you are summarising.
Example
A research paper called “Does Watching Smoking in Movies Promote
Teenage Smoking?” found that teenagers who experienced high
exposure to smoking in movies were three times more likely to try
experimenting with smoking (Heatherton and Sargent, 2009).
Reference List
Heatherton, T. F., & Sargent, J. D. (2009). Does Watching Smoking in
Movies Promote Teenage Smoking?. Current Directions In Psychological
Science, 18(2), 63-67. Retrieved January 19, 2015, from Academic
Search Complete.
8. Secondary Referencing
You read a book by Boyle and she cites Hill on page 12.
If possible try and locate Hill’s book.
If not possible, secondary reference.
Example
A large minority, 38 per cent, of the cinema audience of Reservoir Dogs
were women, according to the Cinema Adverting Association (Hill,
1997, as cited in Boyle, 2005, p. 12).
Reference List
Boyle, K. (2005). Media and violence. London: Sage Publications.
9.
Take a record of all of the materials that you used as you go
along.
Tips
Zotero is great for this.
Save sources in your personalised Discovery folder.
Make notes on the eBook version of the book (Dawsonera)
Create an in-text citation every time you mention someone
else’s work (possibly several citations for each book, article,
etc.).
Build an alphabetised Reference List which contains every
source cited, this goes at the end of your assignment.
Three Step Process
10.
11.
You give statistics.
The information is unique and not known by most people.
The reader might ask, “How do you know that?”
You use a direct quotation from someone else.
You use someone else’s ideas.
You paraphrase / take info from elsewhere.
You must reference
when..
12.
The information is commonly known (either by the general
population, or commonly known within the particular
discipline).
When most or all of your sources say the same thing on
that particular point.
When it is your own original thought or opinion.
No need when…
13.
When you’re not sure… Cite
it Anyway!
Tip
Need to cite a
fact? Credo is
great for factual
information.
14.
Book with one author
(Cooper, 2009, p. 309)
or
According to Cooper (2009, p. 309)
Sometimes things not so straightforward though..
15.
Book (2,3, more authors)
Book with an editor (Different chapters written by different
authors)
eBook
Journal Article from print journal
Webpage
Newspaper
eJournal article
And more….
As information is all around us, you’ll use lots of
different sources when compiling assignments and
they all need to be referenced;
16. Your Reference List should appear at the end of your
assignment, it provides the information necessary for
a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in
the assignment.
Reference List entries answer key questions;
Who created this? (most important)
When was it created?
Where is this information found?
Where was the source created?
Who created the source?
