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

Sourcing and citing previous pieces is a fairly new experience to me as I haven’t been held to such a high degree of detail. Citing was initially a challenge as getting accustomed to APA format but after reviewing Purdue Owl writing lab I was able to apply the citation process fairly easily. However, my ability to integrate the sources was fairly bad to begin with and has gotten better as I no longer quote full sentences and now quote portions of sentences and integrate them into my own rather than give explanations. While my ability is not perfect it appropriately expresses my ideas when used in tandem with my summarization and analysis.
