Preparing Notes

The system of American Psychological Association

(APA) is used in preparing a list of references.

Guidelines for organizing your reference list:

1. Entries should be arranged alphabetically with the surname of

the authors as points of reference. In cases where there is no
author, the title of the work becomes the first part of the entry.
2. The hanging indent format should be
observed when writing entries.
3. The following are some example entries for
books, periodicals, and online sources.
INTRODUCTIO - composed of background information, the
N thesis statement, and the scope.
BODY
- contains the major ideas confined in the
thesis, different rhetorical modes such as
description, cause and effect, comparison and
contrast, and examples to achieve the purpose
of the author.
CONCLUSION - summarizes the main points of the essay. It is
a strategic section for the writer to restate the
thesis for readers to recall the purpose and
scope of the essay.
