Week 1 APA Research Assignment:

The following is a tool to help you practice the proper use of APA citations and proper paraphrasing when you are researching and writing your posts and papers. You will use this skill throughout your Keiser career. APA usage can be daunting at first. However, it is our belief that you will benefit greatly from this practice and gain confidence in your writing!

1. Start by reviewing plagiarism by completing the Plagiarism Interactive Presentation

2. Review how to paraphrase successfully. https://www.scribbr.com/working-with-sources/how-to-paraphrase/

*You avoid should patchwriting (changing only a few words, substituting synonyms on a one-to-one basis), and instead paraphrase (restate in your own words, reframe ideas for your paper context).

3. Next, review what is included in an APA style in-text citation. https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations/basic-principles/author-date

3. Read the passage titled “Nature and Nurture” from our textbook on page 6. (I uploaded the short passage under article to be used)

Then, create a Word document and paraphrase this passage in your own words using proper APA in-text citations and a full reference for your textbook. The word count requirement is 300.
