Watch a minimum of 1 of 2 workshops:

Quoting, Paraphrasing and Summaries Workshop: How to use direct quotes and paraphrases
Write a discussion board post and answer the following questions:
Which workshop(s) did you watch?
How familiar with APA were you before watching the workshop(s)?
Using the E-Text for this course , write an example of direct quote with proper in-text citation
First, format the direct quote without a signal phrase, this would look similar to: "This is an example quote" (IN TEXT CITATION with author's name).
Next, format the direct quote using a signal phrase, this would look similar to: According to AUTHOR's NAME (YEAR), "This is an example quote" (IN TEXT CITATION).
Using the same direct quote as the basis, create a paraphrase (your own words) of that direct quote with proper in-text citation
Provide the Reference page entry for your source formatted in APA
