Academic writing also requires a special set of terminology. Even when writing for the political arena, terminology is important and effective in good writing.

14. I will probably be inclined to write in academically. My strategy will be to read as much from academic publications as I can.

15. Below are examples of APA style:

Bailey, Ronald. (1998). "Human Cloning Experiments Should be Allowed." Cloning. Winters, Paul, ed. San Diego: Greenhaven Press.

Ardolino, Frank. "I'm not a Dime a Dozen." Journal of Evolutionary Psychology. (2002) 174.11. Retrieved from the Proquest database.

President Bush Calls on Senate to Back Human Cloning Ban." (2002). White House Press Release. Retrieved from http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/04/20020410-4.html

Reeves, Dana. (2008, January 10). A Difference of Opinion. Songwriters, 13, 4. Retrieved from the Academic Search Premier database.

16. One of the APA style tips I found useful was when to use the comma. For this style, it is incorrect to use a comma before and restrictive clause, between two parts of a compound sentence, and when separating parts of measurement. I found this tip to be useful because I am always wondering about comma use. I am prone to use them too much, so I will keep this in mind. The referencing tip concerning two or more cited sources within parenthesis is helpful. The proper way to do this is to list the sources in alphabetical order and separate them with a comma. When it comes to noting more than one author in one citation, I would definitely be at a loss before I read this. Another helpful tip is when referencing a newspaper article that has no author. In this case, the work should be listed in alphabetical order by the first significant word in the title of the article. In the paper itself, the name of the article should be condensed if it is long. For example, an article entitled, "The Significance of Daisy Petals in Contemporary Art" would be condensed to "Daisy Petals" and the word Daisy would be the first significant word in which it would be cited. This tip is helpful to me…
