You will need to use quotes and cite your information. The website for format also gives you information on how to do this. General format for citations is as follows:
-Over four words that are exactly the same in the same order, need to “quote” and (cite) the information at the end of the sentence it is used in:
When looking at the dynamics of relationships it is important to remember that relationships change and evolve. Although in most cases relationships move from “role-governed interactions to stable friendships” (Wood, 268). This development of the relationship takes time and invested interest.
-If it is a theory or principle that you are putting into your own words, (cite) at the end of the sentence
Romantic relationships have been highly studied by researchers trying to define and quantify how the relationship dynamics work. One researcher felt that the generally accepted three dimensions of romantic love can best be understood by using a triangle model for how they interrelate (Wood, 274). This visual representation allows us to visually consider how the three areas are connected.
The purpose of the Interpersonal Communication course is to assist students with understanding the dynamics of communications. In this class, students will learn the theories that guide effective communication as well as explore the strategies that hinder and enhance communication. An emphasis of the course will be to examine communication across cultures so that students can gain a successful repertoire of skills for communicating in our diverse society.
