Week 6 at Shorter University

This week at shorter we learn about using keywords to search for information and then in turn how to properly use APA Citations in order to give proper credit for sources.


First of all we learned about using keyword to find information when searching in a library database.  Foe one of my projects for class this week I choose to search for information on Online Education.  In order to find the necessary information on Online Education I used the keywords "online Education", "Web based learning", and distance learning.  The following is the sources I would use if doing a reference paper listed in APA format.

Abstract

This paper is a detailed account of when various Looney Tunes characters visit Microsoft 2007.

Looney Tunes Visits Microsoft Office 2007

On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks (Fudd, 2009). When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look. You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. Bunny stated “you can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab.” (2009, P.14-15)

Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly. To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command (Bunny & Fudd, 2009). Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template. On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document.

However, Coyote, W.E., (2009) found that you can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look. You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.
