...REFERENCING: Reference in a research work is an essential part studying. Referencing is a standardized method of formatting the information sources you have used in your assignments or written work. Any given referencing style serves two purposes: acknowledges the source, allows the reader to trace the source. There are two major and most popular reference styles adopted by writers and scholars. MLA and APA reference styles are the common styles adopted. DIIFERENCES BETWEEN APA AND MLA American Psychological Association (APA) and Modern Language Association (MLA) are writing and formatting styles used in papers, reports, and academic essays. APA is predominately used in the social sciences while MLA is predominately used in the liberal arts and humanities. The guidelines provide overall formatting for content, style and references. While they have many similarities, there are also many differences. Despite their differences, the APA and MLA citation systems have the same overall function in a research paper—sources are acknowledged via in-text citations, each of which corresponds to an entry in an alphabetical list of works at the end of the paper, referred to as “Works Cited” in MLA Style and “References” in APA Style. However, the MLA Handbook also mentions some variations, such as a “Works Consulted” list, which contains sources not cited within the body of the paper, and an annotated bibliography, which includes a brief description or evaluation of each source. APA Style...

...Dear Katrina, Unfortunately, your passage is an example of mosaic plagiarism. Mosaic plagiarism occurs when an individual uses information from a source without citing the sources’ work. The material used from the source doesn’t have to necessarily be word for word, it can be general information found from the source. Although you have taken the key information and put it into your own sentencing and structuring I believe that it is still an example of plagiarism. I believe this because you have copied key information from Middle English from C. Hugh Holman’s A Handbook to Literature without inserting in-text citations and referencing it at the end of your paper. An example of this is in your paragraph you state “We usually think of this age...

...assignment guidelines and module supervision I believe some students are having difficulty finding the assignment guidelines, these are on webCT in the module handbook, however, to make them more explicit I have also copied the guidelines below. Hopefully you have been able to choose a patient and are making progress with your assignment, remember to use your module supervisor as you develop your piece of work. If your module supervisor in on leave for more than 1 week you may approach ONE other team member for help during your supervisor’s absence. Should you choose this option then you have a responsibility to inform your temporary supervisor of what guidance you have previously been given. Once your original supervisor returns they immediately resume their supervisory role and you should inform them of what advice you have received in their absence. all the best with your assignment Graham 10/6/10 CASE STUDY GUIDELINES FOR NU2285 This assignment should provide evidence of theoretical understanding underpinning practice.

...The Research Questions This empirical deductive research by Ho et al (2011) tried to develop a concrete generalization of the term "job passion" especially in the work context. Job passion was differentiated from other job attitudes such as; motivation, job satisfaction, job involvement and identification, workaholism and organizational commitment. They wish to also corroborate with other research on its different types - "harmonious and obsessive passion" and to further examine the effect of these types of job passion on work performance. By examining this effect, the authors want to justify that it is enhanced through the interaction of some mental elements called "cognitive engagement (comprising attention and absorption)" (p. 32). Their model therefore, is to create a cause and effect relationship between job passion and employee's work performance. However, finding a relationship would have been appropriate than a cause and effect. Theoretical Framework The research built on various recent researches, middle range theories and assumptions to provide answers to their questions. The concept of "entrepreneurial passion" was used to develop their concept of job passion (p. 28). They conceptualized job passion as "an attitude that comprises of both cognitive and affective elements which embody the strong inclination that one has towards one's job" (p. 28). Job passion is what you wake up joyfully to do, get excited about, enthusiastic and energized for and feel refreshed and...
