Much of graduate work requires writing. You are writing a paper, and you want to incorporate the following information into your paper: “Having a quiet space to take an online final exam can result in a grade that is 15% higher than if the student had taken the exam in a noisy environment.” The paper that the information was from was written by Josiah Mooch in 2017. The information is on page 16.
Provide the proper in-text APA citation for a direct quote of that information.
Provide the proper in-text APA citation for a paraphrase of that information.
