You also need to use in-text citations when using the authors’ ideas or paraphrasing. See below for examples.  Not citing is a form of plagiarism and will result in an F on the assignment.  Your answers should also include your own words.

      Direct quote:

      Psychologists have a broader definition of learning than our everyday usage.  They define learning as “a relatively permanent change in knowledge or behavior that results from experience” (Sdorow, Rickabaugh, & Betz, 2019, p. 238).

      Paraphrase:

      Psychologists define learning in a specific way that differs from our everyday usage.  They focus on behavior or knowledge that changes because of our experiences (Sdorow, Rickabaugh, & Betz, 2019, p. 238).
