Discussion: NURS 6065 Week 3

Now that you have your main idea sentence that articulates an argument, you can construct the rest of your paragraph. The first portion you add is evidence. In academic writing, we paraphrase—putting information into our personalized voice—to effectively combine that evidence with the overall argument. This week, let’s also practice properly citing research using APA format.
