As usual, we have class on Monday for three hours lecture. It is
already week nine and it means final is just around the corner. To be honest, I
am quite nervous and I am not ready yet to sit for the final because I have not
made any preparations. For this time, I have a lot of assignments to do and I
need to finish it all first. For Miss Amreet’s assignments, I still have not
completed for my Homepage because I still need to edit and check whether there
is any mistakes or errors. For the digital storytelling, we are still in
progress to finish it. We need to do it as soon as possible because we need to
submit it on week twelve.
On this week, what we have done is just we got a lecture from Miss
Amreet about the important styles for informative websites.
We have several manuals of style for academic, technical and
scientific writing. The first is MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly
Publishing (Modern Language Association), APA (American Psychological
Association), The Chicago Manual of Style (University of Chicago Press) and
last but not least is Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual Format for
Authors, Editors, and Publishers (The Style Manual Committee of the Council of
Biology Editors). But mostly, universities in Malaysia including my university
itself are using APA style to do the citation.
In formal studious mood, it included academic, journal format and
abstract section in front matter should be including in paragraph. For an
example, explaining the journal contain. Next is GEMA online, which is a
journal of language studies.
I learnt something new which is there are two types of research
that we have to know; quantitative and qualitative, and results are being used
in quantitative.
Not only that, she also has explained about the differences between
references and bibliographies. For us, it is just the same thing and often we
used it synonymously but actually there is a difference in meaning between them
and it is totally a different thing. References mean the items you have read
and specifically what you had referred to in your assignment and your list of
sources at the end the assignment will be headed. Bibliographies means a list
of source materials that are used or consulted in the preparation of a work or
that are referred to the text. After that, Miss Amreet had given several
examples of English words borrowed from foreign language.
In a nut shell, like the other week before I am happy to have a Writing
for Multimedia and The Web with my beloved lecturer, Miss Amreet and all my
fellow classmates.
