More students are choosing Laurentian and we are excited to let you know why. We have award winning programs, a multi-cultural learning atmosphere, and a breath-taking campus. We have a proven track record in preparing graduates for a bright and rewarding future. 

The Fact Sheet Assignment is around the corner and I wanted to emphasize a few important points to keep in mind:

• Best practices must be based on synthesizing research from peer-reviewed journal articles. Practices pulled from consulting, blogs, agency or corporate websites will significantly weaken your assignment [incur deductions].
• use APA format for in-text citations and reference list. The samples provided in the assignment are for conceptual purposes only [they do not use APA formatting]. 
• the document must be your own original work; cite all your sources. Plagiarism will be receive an automatic mark of 0 [zero].
• create and type your assignment in MS Word or in Adobe Acrobat. Submissions that are scanned and converted to PDF or created using any other software will not be accepted.

Tips: 1) use the library's search filters to help narrow down your article search; 2) use multiple keywords separated by the word "and" to further narrow your search; 3) look for "meta-analysis" type journal articles; these summarize the current research that's been done on a specific topic - so the work of synthesizing has been done for you! 

If you need assistance with your research for this assignment, please contact the Ryerson Library staff - sooner, rather than later. The library link is located on the Ryerson website homepage [www.ryerson.ca]. 

Please don't leave this to the last minute.

Why Should I Reference?
References are used to record or document the source of
each piece of information in your paper obtained from
other researchers and writers. If you fail to document
information that is not your own, you have committed
plagiarism, a form of stealing.

What Should I Reference?
You must reference all direct quotations; paraphrases of
material; and summaries of opinions, ideas and interpre-
tations obtained from other sources. If you fail to refer-
ence your information, you will be criticized for making
statements that appear to be unsupported by evidence. It
is not necessary to document information that is com-
mon knowledge, but remember that it is always better to
overdocument than to underdocument.
You may be concerned that, if you reference too much,
your instructors will think the paper is not your own
work. That is not so. The method of organization is yours,
as well as the purpose which ties the material together,
the topic sentences, concluding sentences, analytical and
evaluative comments which allow the reader to make
sense out of the reference material, and probably most of
the introductory and concluding paragraphs.
What Style Should I Use?
Always ask the professor which documentation style is re-
quired for the assignment. Styles can vary greatly between
journals even within one field. If no specifics are given,
this Fastfacts can serve as a guide to one of the standard
formats, described in the Publication Manual of the Ameri-
can Psychological Association (known as the APA style),
used in psychology and many of the social sciences.
Remember to choose one style for a particular paper, and
be consistent within that paper.

Frogs are excellent indicator species to measure wetland health. Willemssen (2010) recently conducted
research in Wisconsin that shows that frogs are very sensitive to changes in pH caused by acid rain, and
they are also very sensitive to different types of pollution. Willemssen's research indicates that when
frog populations in a wetland plummet, one can be sure that something is going wrong in the wetland.
One very telling quote from Willemssen's research is that "87% of wetlands where two-headed frogs are
found have high levels of environmental contamination" (p. 341).
