MIND YOUR REFERENCING FORMAT - THE APA STYLE

 
The title slide of Dr Wan Norhaniza's lecture.
 
Just a day after the season's holidays for Christmas, commonly known as Boxing Day, it is back to serious academic writing for ISDEV members. On Wednesday 26 December, 2018, ISDEV Resource Room was packed with ISDEV lecturers and students, all eager to take in some pointers on the latest format in citing and referencing while writing their dissertations and theses. 
 
All set to start the when Dr Fadzila Azni Ahmad (holding the microphone) started the session with the invitation to ISDEV members to begin with the recitation of Ummu al kitab - Surah Al-fatihah
 
The lecture was well delivered by ISDEV lecturer, Dr Wan Norhaniza Wan Hasan. Her lecture, on the APA Style (6th edition) for Dissertation and Thesis in ISDEV, was truly beneficial as it helped to quell some uncertainties that was hovering in the minds of the academicians and students alike. The  chairperson throughout the session was Dr Fadzila Azni Ahmad.
 
The students were so absorbed with the lecture on the APA style.
The Q&A session was definitely lively and vibrant as students took the opportunity presented to ask some pertinently pragmatic questions on some of the doubts they faced when citing the materials in their text as well as in the reference list. Alhamdulillah overall the talk was well attended and received. It is definitely hoped there will be no more technical glitches pertaining to referencing and citing in ISDEV students' dissertations and theses. ISDEV students's are reminded to be vigilant and to mind their writing format at all times. May Allah SWT be pleased with the efforts rendered forth. Aamiin.
