Question: You have been asked to contribute to your quarterly department newsletter, which includes a regular section on wellness in the workplace. To prepare for your contribution, you decided to research the benefits of using emotional intelligence in the workplace. You came across a very good article that you would like to use for your contribution. This article, entitled "Emotional Intelligence at the Workplace," was written by Manavi Pathak for the publication Human Capital, a Human Resources magazine. The article was published in February of 2013, and it was on pages 54 and 55 in the magazine.

For your contribution to the newsletter, you will write-a five-point summary of the article. Below are steps you can take to createYour summary. You can also use the SQ3R Method if it is helpful.
1. Preview the article thoroughly. Note the title, the first sentences of paragraphs, and any charts or graphs.
2. Ask yourself some essential questions that you hope to find the answers to while reading the article.
3. Read the article carefully. Take time to highlight, underline, look up words you don't know, and find the answers to your essential questions.
4. Review the article again to decide what its five main points are.
5. Write the five main points in complete sentences on a separate Word document. The points should be in your ownWords and not copied from the article. After listing these points, write a well-developed summary paragraph that includes them. Make sure your paragraph is reader-friendly and uses effective transitions as needed. Again, use your own words for your paragraph.
6. Since you used a source for your newsletter contribution, you will need to give credit to it with an in-text citation at the end of your paragraph, and a separate references page citation below your summary. You have all the information needed to credit the source in the directions. We'll use APA format as a guide to credit the source in-text and as a references source for the newsletter:
Parenthetical in-text citation: this goes at the end of your paragraph since you are summarizing an article. When you are summarizing a source in APA format, you only need to cite the source once in-text if it will be clear to your readers that this in-text citation refers to your entire paragraph or section of writing. Use only the year in the in-text citation, even if the references list entry contains a more specific date. The period goes after the parenthetical in-text citation rather than after your last summary point.
General parenthetical in-text citation:
(Last name, year, page number or numbers).
Here is an example of how a writer might create a parenthetical in-text citation for a magazine article:
(Peterzell, 1990, 20-21).
References citation: this goes after your paragraph and uses the word References, that is centered and bolded, as its heading. Usually, the references page begins on a separate page, but for this assignment you may cite your reference below your article summary.
References
Last name, First initial. (Year, Month). Title of article in sentence case (capitalized like a sentence--not all capital letters). Title of Magazine in Italics, page numbers.

Below is an example how a writer might create a References page for a magazine article. If there is only one reference, it should still be referred to as the References page.
References
Peterzell, J. (1990, April). Better late than never. Time, 20-21.

7. Reflect on the process you used to create this article summary in a paragraph of at least 75Words. You can consider the Essential Questions below to help guide you on this reflection. You do not need to cite the article in-text or as a References page citation in your reflection, as you have already showcased your APA formatting skills, although you generally would include these items.
• What worked well in this process for me?
• How did I write this summary differently than I may have in the past?
• Why are critical reading, summarizing, and citing skills important in the workplace?
