Digital Citation Guide for Cheddar(1).docx Here is a helpful handout that is easy to use for APA citation. UG APA intext and Reference Help(1).docx Every time you use someone’s ideas, you must have an intext citation at the end of the sentence that it is in, or as a signal phrase at the beginning of the sentence. I have done this in all of my HGTE responses to you. Use them as a modelIf you are directly quoting someone, you also need quotation marks around the words AND an intext citation. With a direct quote, your intext citation must also include para. X or p. X (para. stands for paragraph for websites and p. stands for page for printed material), depending on the type of source. For every intext citation, you need a reference. However, you might have several intext citations from the same sources, and that only requires one reference. The Purdue University Online Writing Lab is very helpful for using APA: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/
Digital Citation with hyperlinks: In this case all the information is in the article:

• To create a hyperlink, click on insert and a hyperlink icon will come up:

• Or place the source’s URL on a document, right click at the end of it and a box for hyperlink will come up:

Week 7 A2: Thought Leader ArticleYouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOaZGZ9UI8sCourse Guide – COM510_Cheddar MBA_Assignment 1_2_.pdf FAQ: Can you write about any topic that you want? Yes. You can write about any topic that you want. Here is what is in the A2 directions: “You get to choose the topic so pick something that is relevant to your personal brand/career, and that you can share with others. You can approach it from a number of angles. You can identify or propose a solution to a business issue, discuss industry trends, or suggest an idea/innovation that you feel is important.”FAQ: What should be included in the Thought Leader Article:
Here is the answer from the A2 Directions:

1. Catchy Title/Hook
2. Introduction of the Idea or Problem- 1 paragraph
3. Body/Discussion of the Idea or Problem – 2-3 paragraphs including supporting statistics/data andstories (focus on and outline 2-3 main ideas or points)
4. Conclusion/Recommendations- 1 paragraph
5. References- must be included in the form of a reference page (APA format suggested)

FAQ: Should you be selling yourself?No. You should be sharing information in your field and establishing yourself in your field. You are not directly selling a product. Being a thought leader is to do the following: “When it comes to being a thought leader, obviously being knowledgeable and up-to-date with industry trends is key. But let’s not focus on being innovative. That comes later. To be innovative, you have to know your industry and know it well.Your knowledge as a thought leader is based on experience, both past and present, the latest news coming out of your industry, and how you use that intel to educate your audience. Because just knowing something isn’t everything. It’s all about the balance between knowing and doing. And as a thought leader, you have to practice what you preach” (para. 2-3)Stewart, C.
