FAQ Citation Guideline
Overview
You do not need to provide a "works cited" list for discussion board assignments, unless you incorporate outside materials
(you may also use footnotes, if preferred). For assigned materials, please use
in-text and parenthetical citations to discuss the assigned materials,
including page numbers and author's names where relevant. You are also welcome to incorporate your own or your peer's reflections from class portfolios or discussions; make sure to
cite everything, even yourself - it showcases our collaborative thinking and is
good scholarly practice!
•
Q: Should
you include in-text
citations for assigned
readings in your discussion board posts?
●
A1:
Yes. A general way to approach the assignment is as if it were directed to a general
public who has never heard
of the readings you are discussing. You should also use parenthetical citations (Author’s last
name, publication date, page number) when you are paraphrasing or directly quoting information or ideas from the
readings.
●
A2:
In- text citations will help you to provide more context and clarification for your imagined audience
but also to include page numbers in case you or your peers want to return to a specific part of the reading.
• Q: Do you need to include a works cited
or bibliography list at the end of our discussion board
posts?
●
A1.: No. You do not need to include
a bibliography for assigned materials
that are included in the prompt
of the discussion board; but you should include citations in your post (parenthetical or in-text and following any citation guidelines you prefer, such
as APA, MLA, or Chicago Style)
●
A2. However,
if you include any additional examples in your post you can
cite it by adding endnotes
and including links
for your audience
(you can also use hyperlinks;
look at an academic blog post or
online journal for examples)
• Q: How can we cite reading
or media in-text?
●
A1: an easy way to avoid
plagiarism is by introducing the author in the text itself (to later include the author’s name, date, and pg. #
in parenthesis as needed).
●
A2: Similarly, for the assigned
media, students can reference specific
examples in the text by describing a particular podcast segment. In most cases, this can be done by not just discussing the example but elaborating
on who is talking about the example in the context
of the issues of the episode.
Q: Can we use ideas from our portfolios and class discussions for the discussion board
assignments?
●
A: Yes, and we
encourage you to do so to build on your ideas (consider your portfolio
a rough draft). However, always be sure to cite yourself and your peers when doing so, as well as
any lecture slides used for your answer (see portfolio topic #3 below for
more).
• Q: I haven’t
been using in-text
citations for the readings for discussion
board assignments. Will I lose points?
●
A: No. Because
the discussion board instructions draw from the
assigned
reading and media and are only published on canvas, it
is understandable to assume that you might assume you do not need to do so.
However, you should follow the above guidelines moving forward.
