Table 1. Summary of Citation Format in Parenthetical and Non-Parenthetical Citation ( APA 7 th edition)
For directly quoted ideas, two things must be remembered: quotation marks and page number. If the idea
is less than 40 words, put the idea in quotation marks. For example,
According to Cruz (2017), “traffic has been at its worst since the country has adapted the similar
system of rules as its neighboring countries” (p.7). Note: The period comes after the page number.

We will discuss here the overview of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), a citation
widely used in the fields of engineering and mathematics. You could access Purdue Owl through this link
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/ieee_style/ieee_overview.html if you want a full
discussion of the IEEE citation style.
IN-TEXT CITATION
IEEE employs bracketed numbers for in-text citation. Grammatically, these numbers can function either as a
footnote or a noun, so either of the following is correct:
The city of Florence is populated entirely by owls wearing human masks [1], and thus…
As established in [1], the city of Florence is populated entirely by owls wearing human masks, and
thus…
One should always refer to references exclusively by their number within the text -- it’s always just “in [1]”,
not “in reference [1]”.
If you are citing multiple references at once, you should separate the citations with commas. If this citation
covers three or more consecutively-numbered citations, you need only include the first and last, separated by
an en-dash. Note that the comma requires a space, but the en-dash does not. However, if you wish to name
the authors, then the references must be cited separately unless they are by the same author. Thus, all of the
following are correct:
A trenchcoat and mask can easily disguise a few owls as a human, as experimentally shown by Smith
[1], [2].
This is disputed by Civetta [6] and Strix [7], who are not owls in masks.
The city of Florence is under an ancient curse, as repeatedly and exhaustively described in [8], [10],
[13]–[17], [20].
REFERENCE CITATION
References are always numbered in order of citation. The first reference you cite is always [1], the second
always [2], and so forth. However, remember that these are not footnotes – the bracketed number connects
to a number on your References page. Thus, if you cite the same reference in multiple locations through your
paper, it must always be cited with the same number.
References should be provided on a separate page at the end of your paper, with the title “References” at the
top of the page. They should be listed and numbered in order of citation, not alphabetically. The numbers
should be flush against the left margin, and separated from the body of the reference.
• Authors are always referred to by their surname and initials. Suffixes such as “Jr.” or “III” are included,
but separated by a comma – e.g. “E. C. M. Boyle, III”.
• Any IEEE journals cited should be referred to by their official abbreviations, as listed by IEEE here.
• For references with up to six authors, list all authors in the order they are presented in the
publication’s byline. Use the format “A. B. Author, C. D. Author, and E. F. Author”.
• For publications with seven or more authors, list the first author followed by “et al.”
• Titles of books, journals, and publications of similar size are set in title case.
• Titles of articles, technical reports, and publications of similar size are set in sentence case.
• If you are unsure whether to use sentence case or title case, err on the side of following the original
capitalization.
• Names of months are shortened to 3-4 letters each: Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May, June, July, Aug., Sept.,
Oct., Nov., Dec.

Lesson 5: Outlining
Expectations:
1. Identify the differences between an informative and argumentative
thesis statement
Pre-test:
Identify whether the statement is True or False. Write your answer on the space provide before each
number.
True 2. In conventional writing, an argumentative thesis statement presents a counter claim, a claim and
arguments.
True 4. An informative thesis statement presents the claim and its arguments.
True 5. A thesis statement must present clearly what the paper would and would not discuss.
True 6. An outline is a list arranged to show hierarchical relationships and is a type of tree structure.
True 7. An outline needs to follow different principles to make sure that ideas are organized.
True 8. The principle of division states that there must be at least two parts for each rank.
True 9. The principle of subordination states that there must be a clear logic between the outline’s
headings.
b. a statement of fact;
e. a question.
Takeaway
A thesis statement summarizes the Main point. It could usually be found in the introductory paragraph
of the text. Most of the time, it is only composed of a Single sentence, and although it is Main point and
presents the perspective of the author towards the topic, it does not use First POV.
TIPS:
Although the congress insists the signing and implementation of anti-terrorism bill, people are wary because
of its unclear premise, subjective interpretation, and possible abuse of power.
In an informative thesis statement, it presents the claim and its arguments. For example,
There has been reservation among Filipinos about the appeal to legalize divorce in the country because of
moral and societal standards.
Since a thesis statement summarizes the text, it needs to avoid wordy expressions and general
discussion. For example, instead of writing:
The newly implemented rule in the university should not be supported because it is problematic in a
way that it suppresses the freedom of expression, and it encourages bullying among students.
The newly implemented rule in the university should not be supported because it promotes
suppression and bullying.
The use of marijuana in the medical field must be reviewed by the professionals because there have
been reports of its adverse effects; however, it can promote business if carefully monitored.
There are two claims presented in the example. It would have been better if it was written this way:
The use of marijuana in the medical field must be reviewed by the professionals because there have
been reports of its adverse effects
or this way:
Choosing one topic and sticking to it would help avoid discussion of unnecessary information in
your text. In this way, you would have a good framework to start your outline.
Topic: Poverty
Thesis statement: Poverty, caused by several factors, affects the lives of many Filipinos; therefore, both the
individual and government should work hand in hand in solving the problem.
I. Introduction
A. Definition of poverty
B. Background of the problem
II. Body
A. _____The effects of lack in education on poverty
1. Negative attitude toward manual labor
dccaprrecause_________________________
2. Lack of proper education
3. Lack of government programs for poverty
C. Solutions
1. Individual effort
a. Resourcefulness in looking for jobs
b. starting small businesses _
2. Government Programs
___
a. Job opportunities from the government
b. More subsidy from the government
III. Conclusion
A. Summary
B. Recommendation
Outlining is based on the principles of division, coordination, subordination, and parallelism. A major idea
can be divided into subtopics.
1. Division- The principle of division states that there must be at least two parts for each rank.
This means that when there is an A, there must B. For example,
A. Asia
1. Philippines
2. South Korea
B. Europe
1. Belgium
2. Germany
2. Coordination- The principle of coordination states that items which are of equal significance have
comparable numeral or letter designations; an A is equal a B, a 1 to a 2, an a to a b, etc. Coordinates
should be seen as "having the same value." Coordination is a principle that enables the writer to
maintain a coherent and consistent document. For example,
A. Asia
1. Philippines
A and B are continents; 1 and 2 are
2. South Korea countries
B. Europe
1. Belgium
2. Germany
3. Subordination- This principle states that there must be a clear logic between the outline’s headings.
This means that ideas of equal rank must be under its major heading. You need to establish
relationship between the ideas that you are presenting.
A. Asia
1. Philippines
1 and 2 are ideas lower than their major
2. South Korea headings which are A and B.
B. Europe
1. Belgium
2. Germany
4. Parallelism- This principle states that there must be parallel construction among the ideas. For
example, when you decide to use a phrase to indicate a major heading, ideas in phrases must be used
throughout. Otherwise, use sentences. There must also parallel construction in all the items in a series
(e.g. gerund, adjectives, etc). For example,
A. Advantages of computer
1. Entertainment
2. Convenience
This sample excerpt of an outline used
B. Disadvantages of computer phrases to express ideas.
1. Security threats
2. Massive information
Takeaway
A well-written paper could be more achievable when there is a strong foundation.
A thesis statement gives the writer a guide and an overview on how their paper should look like. Without
it, the paper would be unclear. Having a clear Thesis statement would also make writing an outline easier.
When you have a good thesis statement, the flow of writing becomes
smooth. Outlining becomes easier to write since your claims from your
thesis statement would limit the discussion. Hence, since you know what
must be discussed, you would not find yourself in an abyss of
meaningless discussion.
Post-test:
Identify whether the statement is True or False. Write your answer on the space provide before each
number.
False 1. Intext citation is a citation that appears at the last few pages of the text.
True 2. We use et al. in citing works with more than two authors.

arguments.
True 14. An informative thesis statement presents the claim and its arguments.
True 15. A thesis statement must present clearly what the paper would and would not discuss.
True 16. An outline is a list arranged to show hierarchical relationships and is a type of tree structure.
True 17. An outline needs to follow different principles to make sure that ideas are organized.
True 18. The principle of division states that there must be at least two parts for each rank.
True 19. The principle of subordination states that there must be a clear logic between the outline’s
headings.
