“Strengthen your source use practices (including evaluating, integrating, quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, synthesizing, analyzing, and citing sources)”.

Although I did not use a diverse range of data bases in my research, I still achieved great source using practices. All assignments other than the memo required me to paraphrase, analyze and cite sources at the end. For each assignment, I used proper APA citation guidelines to cite all sources used. I made a reference page for each assignment as seen in figure 2, and I also had in text citations whenever a source was quoted, paraphrased or summarized, as seen in figure 1.
