epitome of innocence asked:


I used a definition of a term(Repression), but in my own words, from the textbook. The textbook does not cite the source for the definition… they do cite a source after giving an example.

It has to be in APA format. Should I cite the authors of the textbook? Or use the next citation?

Kayla asked:


I am a college student and most of my classes require a lot of textbook reading. I need some effective ways to read and aborb information from reading chapters. Should I do outline? or take notes?

Also I procrastinate A LOT … and when I read/study for a long time… my mind wonders elsewhere.

How long /how many hours should I read/study and then take a break?

Thank you!
