Relation between In-text and Full Citations

# data[].attributes.body
In-text and full citations go hand -in -hand.  If you are writing about information from a certain source in a paragraph, you include an in-text citations-  which is typically the author's last name in parentheses and the year published.  For example, (Smith 2016).  You will then include a full citation in the reference list at the end.  The information you include in your reference list various for each type of sources (e.g. book, journal article, video, magazine article, website, etc. )

Here is an example of how to cite an online article in-text and in the reference list:

In-text citation:  Donald Trump proposed to replace swipe cards with food boxes for Food Stamp recipients who get $90 or more a month in Food Stamps (Mui, 2018).

[This is paraphrased rather than copied based on my understanding of the article.  Please also paraphrase materials based on your understanding.  (Mui 2018) is an in-text citation, with the author's last name and year published in parentheses.]

Here is the same source as it would appear in the reference list:

Mui, Y.  2018. Trump wants to curb food stamps and substitute food boxes.  CBNC.  Retrieved from https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/trump-wants-to-curb-food-stamps-and-substitute-food-boxes/ar-BBJ4Spl .

The above is an example of a full citation using APA format.

Peer-reviewed journal articles include the thorough write up of entire studies by the researchers who did the studies.   Articles are reviewed by professionals in the subject (such as sociology) and the reviewers can decide to accept the article as is, reject it, or give a conditional acceptance which means the article will be accepted if certain modifications are met.

We will go to over locating peer-reviewed journal articles more in class, and we will go to a computer classroom where you can practice doing this.

You can follow these steps to access a professional, peer-reviewed journal article:

1.  Go to the STC website at www.southtexascollege.edu .

2.  In the upper right corner search box, type in "library" and click the search button that looks like a magnifying glass.  The STC library will be the first link in the list.  Click onto that link.

3.  There is a purple area in the middle of the page that says "Discovery Search." Type your debate topic and any keywords you wish to use to narrow your search. This is the purple area. Then, click the orange "Search" search button.

4. Under the "Online Items" heading in the left sidebar of the page, click onto "Limiters." Select Scholarly Journal Articles Peer Reviewed. Click onto "Limiters" again underneath this and select Full Text.

5.   You are now ready to do your search.  A list of articles should appear from peer-reviewed journals in which you can read the entire article from the STC library's website.

Phase 2: Rebuttal

Post a 1 to 2 minute response to the opposing teams position.  you can ask questions about what the other team said, say what is wrong with their position, and so on.   .

The spoken portion of the debate
is worth 20 points and you will be graded on the following criteria:

1.     State your position and back it up with evidence, naming your sources.

2.  Include your reference list or work cited list in the chat box.  You can copy and paste this from your debate position statement if you use the same sources.

3.     Speak for 2-3 minutes during your opening statement.  I suggest practicing this before class and timing yourself.

4.  Deliver a 1-2 minute rebuttal (response) to the opposing team.

4.     Be prepared.  Practicing will also help with this.

5.     Be respectful:   Stick to the issues rather than making it personal.

6.     Delivery:  Appropriate tone of voice and engaging. For strong delivery, it is helpful to avoid just reading from a paper or screen the whole time.  Instead, it may be helpful to just write certain words or phrases to remind you of what you need to say.

7.      Be engaged through the whole debate.  Work with your partner to create a question for the other team and to prepare a rebuttal.

How to Begin Your Debate Opening Statement

This is a guide in case you are wondering how to begin your opening statement when we debate.  You don’t have to stick to this script and only use it if it is helpful.  Each person will give a 2-3 minute opening argument when your group debates.

1.      “My name is_______ .”

2.       If you are on the affirmative team, say “I will be speaking in favor of” whatever your debate topic is.

If you are on the negative team, say “I will be speaking against” whatever your debate topic is.

3.      “I will show that (say your first main argument) and (say your second main argument).”  Then, become more specific and provide support and evidence for each of your main arguments.

In addition to the spoken component of the debate, you will also have a debate position statement due outside of class on Blackboard March 13 by 11:59 p.m.  The following week debates will start and I will provide feedback on your written statement before the debate.

You will submit your written position statement individually.  In this, you will state your debate resolution, which is a statement that the affirmative team is speaking in favor of and the negative team is speaking against.  You will also gather evidence to support two arguments in favor of your position.
