Reflection: Ashford Writing Center
After going to the Ashford Writing Center, I have decided that the writing skill that I would like to improve, first, is to have a better grasp of proper APA formatting. I believe that I am fairly proficient with explaining and writing my ideas. Since beginning classes at Ashford University, particularly EDU 304, I admit that my understanding of APA formatting needs clarified.
The resources available at Ashford Writing Center that have been the most useful to me in regard to APA formatting would be the APA essay checklist for Students, the APA template, and the in-text citation guide. I am a very visual learner and access to the APA essay checklist and APA template has helped me to know of what I should strive for my essays to look like.

    Just as paragraph #1 within the body of the paper, data that presents opposing viewpoints related to APA 6th Edition formatting should be researched and written. Approximately 80-85% of the paper should be written in the writer’s original words; 15-20% of the paper should be written with in-text citations. Paraphrasing in-text citations is preferred compared to quoting author statements. However, if quotations are used, the writer must write them correctly. For example, thirty-nine (39) words or less require in-text citations to be written as follows: “The quoted sentence” (Author Last Name, Year of Publication, and page or paragraph number). Here are a few…

    I am no professional at writing by any means, but I can get my thoughts and point across. I feel that two challenges that I will encounter while using the APA style would be plagiarism and writing style and format.
