DD7HW1 Citation Style

In the Public Health department or any medical department they normally use the American Medical Association (AMA) writing style and citation. Normally I use MLA or APA when writing papers for any classes but in my CPH 310 Health Policies class, my teacher exposed me to the AMA format and all the articles associated with the same format. I enjoy the format better because the citing is much easier than MLA and APA format. 

It is important how to use AMA style of writing because most of the articles and journals are written in the format and they write a certain way to get the point across so readers can understand. Understanding the medical can make the matters of reading and writing much simpler. 

Owl Purdue Online Writing Lab, gave a good example how to do in text citation and references in the writing simple.

Writing Grammatically Correct Sentences and Choosing the Right Words and Phrases  I struggle the most with sentence structure and grammar, learning these rules and reviewing might help better my writing.  1. Usage of commas.  Comma are misused in sentences because of breaking up two independent clause by a comma, or not list correctly. Link words like and, or, nor, but, for, so, or, yet with a comma can help the flow of the sentence and the structure.  Ronane State Community College, gives a great guide how to use comma in all sentences, along with link words, and the Do's and Don't of using commas. https://www.roanestate.edu/owl/Commas.html The rule that help me understand commas if re-read the sentence and see if the sentence can stand alone or does it need a comma for it make sense.  2.
