Writing for Success is a text that provides instruction in steps, builds writing, reading, and critical thinking, and combines comprehensive grammar review with an introduction to paragraph writing and composition.

Page numbers should be included when there is a need to be more specific, for example when making a direct quotation. Use the abbreviation p. (for a single page) or pp. (more than one page): eg As Kelvin stated (1968, p.100) ‘the value of…’ If referencing a secondary source (a document which you have not seen but which is quoted in one of your references) the two items should be linked with the term ‘cited in’: eg …economic development (Jones, 2000, cited in Walker, 2004, p.53). NB for above example of secondary sources: You would only be able to include the source you have actually read in your reference list – in the above example you could only give full details of Walker unless you have read Jones yourself. It is good practice to try to read the original source (Jones) so that you can cite and reference it in addition to the source which quoted it (Walker). Handling Quotations in the text Short quotations may be run into the text, using single quotation marks: eg As Owens stated (2008, p.97), ‘the value of...’ Longer quotations should be separated from the rest of the text by means of indentation and optional size reduction, and do not need quotation marks: ...

...Citing your references using the Harvard (Author-Date) system Is this the correct guide for you? Before using this guide, please check whether your Department, School or Faculty specifies the use of a particular referencing system and, if so, if it provides its own guidelines to that system. Note that some Departments,Schools or Faculties may expect both a list of (cited) references and a (general) bibliography, rather than one single reference list/bibliography. Why is it important to cite references? • It is accepted practice in the academic world to acknowledge the words, ideas or work of others and not simply to use them as if they were your own. Failure to do this could be regarded as plagiarism - see http://www.brookes.ac.uk/library/skill/plagiarism.html • to enable other people to identify and trace your sources quickly and easily • to support facts and claims you have made in your text 1. In-text citations The in-text citation is placed at the exact point in your document where you refer to someone else’s work, whether it is a book, journal, online document, website or any other source. It consists of author (or editor/compiler/translator) and publication year, in brackets: eg Agriculture still employs half a million people in rural Britain (Shucksmith, 2000). An author can be an organisation or Government Department (common with websites): eg (English Heritage, 2010) If there are 2 authors, both...

...concludes with some possible designs for future news delivery systems. 1.0 Introduction The news industry is currently undergoing major transformations as a result both of the growing popularity of the Internet itself and of advances in interactive multimedia technologies for the Internet. The types of news sources available on the Internet include newspapers, news wires, cable television, news magazines, and radio stations. New technologies for the Internet include animations, direct manipulation of graphical interfaces, and real time on-demand audio and video. The shift from paper to electronic delivery of news occurred almost simultaneously with both producers and consumers of news. The number of Internet users has been debated widely but current estimates range from 10 million to 22 million Internet users, and 11 million to 17 million WWW users. The number of newspapers online has grown from 20 in 1993, to 100 at at the end of 1994, to over 800 at the start of 1996. At this rate of growth, there will be 1,500 to 2,000...

...The International Journal of Language Society and Culture Editors: Thao Lê and Quynh Lê URL: www.educ.utas.edu.au/users/tle/JOURNAL/ ISSN 1327-774X Investigating Reading Habits and Preferences of Student Teachers at Foreign Language Departments Muhlise Coşgun Ögeyik & Esin Akyay Trakya University Faculty of Education Edirne, Turkey Abstract This study investigates reading habits and general views on reading of the students attending teacher training departments. Since reading is one of the principal skills while teaching and learning a second or foreign language, it is assumed that the gathered data in this sample study will highlight educators to get a general profile about reading habits and preferences of students. The participants of the study are the students attending English Language Teaching and German Language Teaching Departments of the Faculty of Education at Trakya University, Turkey. For data collection, a questionnaire with 40 items was designed and administered on 187 students. The questionnaire investigated the students’ general attitudes towards reading and their preferences of reading. The research findings revealed that the students from both departments had positive attitudes towards reading and were widely involved in reading activities. Another optimistic outcome was that the students read both in native and foreign languages.

...“pre-writing” tips. You can use this template to help you format your paper. For longer papers, include sub-headings or levels of heading. The Writing Process Spend time planning your paper. A good practice is to brainstorm ideas and decide how to express the main idea or thesis. Once you have a rough idea of what you want to say or argue, create an outline or list to help you organize the evidence you plan to present. For more suggestions, please read about thesis statements on our Ashford Writing Center website: Thesis Statements. Other helpful tools on our website are the Thesis Generator and Moving from Prompt to Thesis. Writing the Body Paragraphs Each paragraph of your assignment should be clear and easy to follow. We have several good resources to help you write a strong paragraph, such as How to Write a Good Paragraph and the P.I.E. Paragraph Structure. Using Citations Correctly In addition to being well-written, each paragraph should include an in-text citation to all ideas, references, or quotations that are from outside sources and research. The Ashford Writing Center provides many resources to help you follow correct citation style (primarily APA) and gives lessons and examples of how to paraphrase and cite sources. The APA Key Elements page is a good place to start. References The following are commonly used references. Please fill in the required information, and if you need more help, see the AWC References page. References are listed in alphabetical...

...Macroeconomics: Composition Try to read an article perhaps from sources that are linked to EconExpress - a website established to direct students to economics oriented articles. (Admittedly, there are few odd periodicals, but a substantial number of links are associated with news and magazines that publish the types of articles that are appropriate for college students of economics.) If you cannot find appropriate articles at EconExpress, then you are welcome to do your own search. The articles should have been recently published. You may not use an article or topic that has already been analyzed and posted by another student. Write your composition, analyzing the news via the recent principles of economics you have learned. You should write in a word processor, then copy and paste your writing as a post in Canvas for News Analysis A or News Analysis B. Copy and paste, do not attach documents. The required written format of your news analysis is highly structured. 250 words minimum must be written in the required format demonstrating the principles of the course. The first line of your composition - type the topic of the news you are analyzing - do not use the headline from the researched article. On the next line, put the name of the news source and the web address (url) where the article can be found. (The url must be specific enough so that other students could go to the very place and read the same article that you read.) The first paragraph...
