APA Referencing

Why reference?
At the end of an essay,
assignment or a piece you
have writing, a bibliography
is required to identify the
sources you used to compile
your response.
Otherwise, this is plagarism!
That includes any quotes
and any paraphrasing you
have written in your
response.

Using Quotes...
Write quotes in inverted commas and concluded with
(Surname, Year). If the quote is longer than 2 sentences it
should be separated by the rest of the text via a new
paragraphed, justified in.
Paraphrasing does not need inverted commas, BUT it
involves more than just changing a few words.
