For this activity, you are going to choose three out of your four sources and practice creating citations for them to include at the end of your paper in your references list. Let’s get started! 1. Decide which three sources you want to create citations for. (Note: In your final paper you will need citations for all of the sources that you use). 2. There are many different citation formatting styles. Two popular ones that you may have heard of are the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Modern Language Association (MLA). Typically, the style that you use depends on the discipline that you are writing for. APA is most often used in the social sciences, and MLA is most often used in the humanities. Since this is a social sciences course, and APA is required at Excelsior, we are going to use APA formatting style. 3. Style manuals tell you how to format your paper and cite your sources. If you already have a copy of the APA Publication Manual 6th edition that’s great! It will be useful throughout your other college courses as well. Style manuals give examples on where certain elements in the citation will be placed and these formulas differ by source type. For example, if you are citing a book, the layout of the citation will be different than if you are citing a journal article. Unfortunately, these manuals in their entirety are not available for free online. However, there are some websites that contain examples for formatting citations. • 4. Format three of your sources in APA style as you would for a references list. Here’s how: From the APA Tip Sheet (linked above), look for the example for the type of source that you are trying to cite. You will then see an example of how to cite the source. Follow this example like a formula, noting where each item needs to be placed. If you got your sources from the Library’s databases and/or OneSearch, most likely you will be using the examples on page 2: Journal article without a DOI found online in a library database or on the web & Journal article with a DOI found online in a library database or on the web. A digital object identifier (DOI) is a unique number assigned to some articles. If your article has a DOI number, then follow that example. If it does not have DOI number, then add Retrieved from and a URL to the journal’s homepage. Tip: Pay close attention to the details. For example, how authors’ names appear, capitalization of article titles, italics, indentation, punctuation, etc. Tip: You can get the URL to the journal’s homepage by doing a Google search for the name of the publication, i.e. Journal of General Education. © 2017
Note: Many library databases have a “cite” button/icon that will automatically generate the citation for you in APA style. While these are a good starting place, they are computer-generated and ALWAYS need to be double-checked for accuracy before turning in for a grade. For more information, see this FAQ, I used the database “Cite” icon/button in the Library and my instructor said it was not correct APA format. You may also be interested in freely available tools to help you format your citations. We have listed a few popular ones here, in the Manage Citations box on the Research Guide, Tools for Organizing your Research. The APA Tip Sheet has examples of the most common types of sources in APA style. If you need an example that is not listed there, visit the Library’s APA, MLA & More page for additional resources. 5. Once you have three of your citations properly formatted, put them in a Word document. The document itself should also be in APA format. You can check out a sample APA References page to see how the references page should look at the end of your paper. Note that your document should say, References, at the top. In addition, your citations should be alphabetized by author’s last name, double-spaced and have a hanging indentation.
Assignment: Submit the following in a Word document to the assignment drop box for a grade: • Three citations formatted in APA style as you would for a References list. Pay close attention to details!
Please note: For this activity we are only focusing on the citation format for the References list. In your final paper, you will need to include both: • In-text citations throughout your paper • A References list at the end of your paper

Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality

By
1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that ...
