Website Citation Examples – APA Format

Below are a few examples of in-text citations (in the body of your paper) and reference page entries (at the end of your paper) for website sources. For additional information and examples, visit the Library section of My Ivy.

A website with no identifiable author

When the content on a website has no identifiable author, use the name for the organization, corporation, or government agency as the group author and begin the entry with the group author. Place the title of the web page in italics. Include the URL address. URLs are generally black in a reference, but it’s not wrong if they are blue. If the website has no identifiable author, including no identifiable group author, you should use caution in selecting the source as it may not be a reliable reference.

Mathematical Writing

Organizational Keys

When you write anything in college, it is vital that whatever you write is clear, organized, and fulfilling its intended purpose. When working on mathematics projects that involve essay writing, in particular, be sure that you not only have a firm understanding of the purpose of your assignment but that you choose the best form of organization to get your message across.

To begin, make sure that you provide some type of introductory paragraph that sets the stage and introduces what you are about to do; be sure to make it interesting and attention-getting! Namely, make sure that you answer the question(s) asked, and be sure to apply clear and concise language, necessary explanations, and any background information that will help you reach your intended goal with excellence!

Consider the following writing keys:

#1 Remember “KIS”; keep it simple:

Make sure that your answer clearly addresses the question asked.

#2 Use major details and minor details to organize what you write:

Be intentional and very deliberate in your planning and prewriting so that you group your ideas well into a logical order of understanding.

#3 Use paragraphs to help you separate your ideas:

When you change from one subject and/or concept to another, begin a new paragraph. Proper paragraphing has e-v-e-r-y-thing to do with the clarity of your writing and ultimately, the success of your paper!

#4 Be specific and quantify:

Avoid general comparisons like ‘a lot’, ‘some’, ‘a little’. This is a math class, so give specific quantities when describing or comparing values.

#4 Check for proper grammar and punctuation:

Make sure that you write complete sentences, avoid run-on sentences, and check for proper grammar (particularly subject-verb agreement), and capitalize and punctuate sentences appropriately. Microsoft Word automatically checks for some grammar and spelling issues but Excel does not! To spell check in Excel, go to the Review Tab. Start early so you can have a tutor proofread with you.

Tips for Visual Communication

When using Excel, be effective by being sensitive to do the following:

· Similar calculations should be grouped together

· Calculations should be shown in order of use; think in sequences

· Graphs should be clear and concise

· They should be easily seen, using a proper font size

· Use Proper Labeling of problems/graphics

· Calculations should use appropriate Excel functions

· All formulas can be viewed by pressing- Control~

· All Excel functions that are necessary to complete the project are in the Course Packet.
