Why is it important to learn how to cite your sources properly in an academic research paper? Why should I learn MLA, APA or Chicago Turabian? Well, many researchers spend years figuring out the statistics you see in the peer reviewed articles you read. In order to give these researchers credit for their many years of hard work and research, we cite their names in our paper. We also learn notation systems to avoid plagiarism. We plagiarize when we take/steal other people’s research and call it our own. How would you feel if you spent years researching a topic and somebody else took credit for your research? So, learn to give researchers the credit they deserve by learning how to cite properly in MLA, APA or Chicago Turabian depending on your field/discipline.
Practicing MLA. APA or Chicago Turabian
The purpose of this assignment is to learn how to write a direct quote, a paraphrase quote, and a reference citation in your notation style—MLA, APA or Chicago Turabian.
A direct quote is when you cite the author word per word (verbatim).
A paraphrase quote is when you summarize or put in your own words the source.
A reference citation is the citation you put in the References/Works Cited at the end of your paper.
If you want to know which citation style to use with your major, consult The APUS Library Style Guide for Majors.
Do not choose an article from Wikipedia because Wikipedia does not have reliable scholarly sources. Instead, choose a scholarly peer-reviewed article from the APUS Library or from Google Scholar.
Watch this How to make a Direct quote, a paraphrase and Summary video to learn the difference between the three. Most majors in APUS use the APA format so if you want to learn how to format or write an APA paper, Watch this APA video.
Tell me your name, major and notation style. (MLA? APA? Chicago Turabian?)
Tell me the topic and article you chose for this assignment.
Write a direct quote from that article.

Topic:
Millions of Boomers are rapidly leaving the workplace, either out of the desire to retire or dissatisfaction on the job. Management is faced with filling the “skills gap.” Gen Y (the Millennial) is becoming the largest segment of the U.S. workforce for the very first time, with 27 percent of Millennials in management positions already. Two key problems have resulted from this age switch. Company executives have concerns that Millennials favor those of their own age and think they know more than older workers. Some say the problem these new managers are having is that they are unprepared for the positions—hired into these roles out of necessity without training on how to be good managers. As a result, companies are losing older workers faster than expected, and new positions are being filled with managers of little or no experience. The CEO asks you, a Millennial manager yourself, to investigate this topic and write a report analyzing your findings and drawing conclusions. Offer your recommendations to a company of your choice.
The submission should be no less than three but no more than four pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages.

For your response to the book The Glass Castle, choose one of the following prompts to craft a thesis-based essay. The goal of this essay is to show an analysis of some aspect of the book. Analysis means to break something down and comment on the underlying pieces. You must apply critical thinking to this essay. Get under the surface to the heart of what is really going on in this book. It is more than Rex is a drunk and the Walls family is poor. That is surface. We all know that. Under the surface is looking at Rex’s alcoholism as, potentially, the key factor to their dysfunctional life. You must pull things from the book. Generalities are not ok. If you are making a point, you have to point to specific parts in the book that you believe support this idea.
You should quote the book and, also, show that you understand that most of this book operates in subtext what isn’t said but can be presumed from the text.
The paper should be 6-8 pages and follow MLA or APA format. This essay must have a work cited page that lists, at a minimum, the book. All quotes and specific references to scenes that you take from the book must be cited in your essay using parenthetical citations.
The ideas must connect, the introductory paragraph(s) must contain your thesis and prepare the reader for the rest of the paper, your language choice must be crisp, and your paragraphs need to follow one idea throughout.
Craft a paper that will make your audience think in an interesting and new way about The Glass Castle.
1. Are there advantages to growing up as the Walls children did? What are they? Could the advantages ever outweigh the more horrific aspects of their life?
2. Choose the theme/issue that you believe best sums up the meaning of The Glass Castle. Point to it in the book and build the case for its importance.
3. Discuss Rex’s relationship with his children. Was he a loving father or a master manipulator?
4. How does Jeanette’s use of a maturing voice contribute to or take away from the book? Think about how the book would be different if the adult voice was present from the beginning.
5. Write a book review for The Glass Castle. This is not the same as a book report. A book review takes a stance on the book (good or bad). A book report is a summary of what happened. Don’t do this!
6. Pick a character and do a character analysis where you propose something about the character’s personality that wasn’t upfront in the book.
7. Tell me something that you really believe about the nature of what this book really means.
