If you could not get to work because you had no car, you might decide that the best solution to this problem would be to purchase a vehicle. In that case, you could easily see the value of your purchase, as it would immediately solve your challenge of not being able to go where you needed to go.

In each course, students gain more understanding about how to use appropriate and relevant content to develop and explore ideas in writing. Walden undergraduate students should demonstrate awareness of context and audience in written assignments. In 2000-/3000-level courses, students must be able to (a) display sentence- and paragraphlevel writing skills while practicing essay-level skills and (b) use evidence to support a claim in an academic argument and give credit in writing to the source. Walden uses APA style guidelines to give credit to sources. Walden students must carefully proofread all work before submitting assignments. In each course, students develop and improve a revision process that contributes to quality composition. A. Display sentence-, paragraph-, and essay-level skills. Sentence-level skills include awareness of grammar and punctuation rules. Paragraph-level skills involve use of evidence for idea (thesis) development. Students should practice essay-level writing skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Students should display awareness of discipline-specific conventions particular to a writing assignment, including academic expression, presentation, and stylistic choices appropriate to an academic audience. B. Use evidence from research to support a claim and give credit to the source. In-Text Citations Overview: In general, in-text citations allow you to use evidence to support a claim by crediting the source of the evidence. Examples of evidence include statistics, quotations, and other data that you find when you are conducting research on a topic. The following are several ways to use evidence while adhering to APA citation rules. © 2015 Laureate Education, Inc. 1 Short Quotation With Signal Phrase A “signal phrase” appears at the beginning of a sentence that includes the name of the author. According to Jones (2010), “Students must practice writing in an academic voice” (p. 11). Note how the publication year comes immediately after the author’s name and the page number remains at the end of the quoted material. Short Quotation Without Signal Phrase Quotations from authors can be used with or without signal phrases. Research on learning how to write at the college level revealed that “the fastest way to learn academic writing is to read articles that are written in a scholarly voice” (Williamson, 2011, p. 22). When the author’s name does not appear in the sentence, every component goes at the end of the quoted material. Paraphrase A paraphrase occurs when you do not quote a source directly, but when you use ideas from a source and restate them in your own words. According to Williamson (2010), students who want to write in an academic voice should read scholarly journal articles. Note that the idea is the same as the above, but the wording belongs to the author rather than to Williamson. Variation for Two Authors “Writing is the foundational skill of the online classroom” (Gilmer & Walsh, 2012, p. 33). According to Gilmer and Walsh (2012), students who learn in asynchronous settings write more than brick-and© 2015 Laureate Education, Inc. 2 mortar students do, and the skill is practiced in classes that are not focused on composition. In the parenthetical citation, you use an ampersand, but in the essay, you use the word “and” in the introductory content. Variation for More Than Two Authors “A goal of the Walden Writing Center is to help all students compose comfortably” (Cook, Marshall, & Pezalla, 2012, p. 44). For students to become comfortable in writing, it is essential to support them and provide them with clear academic writing expectations throughout their academic journey (Cook et al., 2012). Note how all author names are written out in the first citation, but in the second citation, the abbreviation “et al.” is used. © 2015 Laureate Education, Inc. 3 Week 1 Assignment Template The Value Proposition of Marketing [Your Name Here] Walden University Part 1: The Value Proposition of Marketing Marketing and the Value It Creates for Customers: 1 of […] [Explain what the marketing concept is and how it creates value for customers.
