*Give a brief summary (7-8 sentences) of your presentation and tell us 2-3 things you learned from doing this project. *Reply to a classmate, commenting on his/her presentation’s effectiveness and telling us several aspects of the slides that you liked the most. Creating a presentation recording might be challenging for many students in the class. This task was one of my horrifying and alarming experiences initially. One of the obstacles I faced was how to enhance pertinent sound features and choosing the ideal adobe features for my presentation. After creating my presentation recording, I could realize that my recordings had poor quality sound patterns (Sanchez Cruz, 2020). This was another devastating obstacle. Again, I used a lot of time and energy while experimenting with my presentation to ensure quality sound patterns. The other hardest part was looking for the ideal sound patterns to increase the concentration of my audience. The easiest part; I had adequate time to practice my presentation many times to ensure it is perfect. I have various questions regarding creating a presentation recording; How does someone incorporate the audio narration, quizzes, and video to the presentation because this has been my the challenge for ages? Which application or software is suitable for creating presentation recordings to ensure precise sound patterns or features? This is respond: For my presentation, I chose to talk about the importance of using social media for your business marketing. I began by discussing how social media can help a business gain customer attention and awareness. I then talked about how a business can establish its personality and authority through social media. Next, I spoke about using social media to engage customers. After that, I talked about creating business opportunities through social media. Finally, I covered how using social media for your business marketing can make it easier to receive customer feedback and give business support. One thing I learned from doing this project is that I am a better speaker when I am not face to face with an audience. This made me realize where my weaknesses were in giving presentations. Now that I know it is less about my ability to talk and more about my nerves, I can focus and work on that aspect of presenting to become a better communicator when publicly speaking. Another thing I learned from the project was how the tone of your voice and speed at which you talk affect your communication. I realized after recording myself and listening back that if you have a less than enthusiastic voice or if you are speaking really fast, it will seem as though you are not really passionate about or interested in what you are speaking on. This can cause you to lose your audience.

Reference List: Basic Rules
Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here.
This resource, revised according to the 7th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (7th ed.).
Note: Because the information on this page pertains to virtually all citations, we’ve highlighted one important difference between APA 6 and APA 7 with an underlined note written in red.
Formatting a Reference List
Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay; label this page “References” in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.
Basic Rules for Most Sources
- All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
- All authors’ names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be provided first).
- Authors’ first and middle names should be written as initials.
- For example, the reference entry for a source written by Jane Marie Smith would begin with “Smith, J. M.”
- If a middle name isn’t available, just initialize the author’s first name: “Smith, J.”
- Give the last name and first/middle initials for all authors of a particular work up to and including 20 authors (this is a new rule, as APA 6 only required the first six authors). Separate each author’s initials from the next author in the list with a comma. Use an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name. If there are 21 or more authors, use an ellipsis (but no ampersand) after the 19th author, and then add the final author’s name.
- Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
- For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
- When referring to the titles of books, chapters, articles, reports, webpages, or other sources, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns.
- Note again that the titles of academic journals are subject to special rules. See section below.
- Italicize titles of longer works (e.g., books, edited collections, names of newspapers, and so on).
- Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as chapters in books or essays in edited collections.
Basic Rules for Articles in Academic Journals
- Present journal titles in full.
- Italicize journal titles.
- Maintain any nonstandard punctuation and capitalization that is used by the journal in its title.
- For example, you should use PhiloSOPHIA instead of Philosophia, or Past & Present instead of Past and Present.
- Capitalize all major words in the titles of journals. Note that this differs from the rule for titling other common sources (like books, reports, webpages, and so on) described above.
- This distinction is based on the type of source being cited. Academic journal titles have all major words capitalized, while other sources’ titles do not.
- Capitalize the first word of the titles and subtitles of journal articles, as well as the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and any proper nouns.
- Do not italicize or underline the article title.
- Do not enclose the article title in quotes.
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
- Deep blue: The mysteries of the Marianas Trench.
- …but you would write the journal title as follows:
- Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
Please note: While the APA manual provides examples of how to cite common types of sources, it does not cover all conceivable sources. If you must cite a source that APA does not address, the APA suggests finding an example that is similar to your source and using that format. For more information, see page 282 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed.
