How Do I Decide Rather My Source is Credible?
Questions to Ask Yourself:
- Can I Find This Information on Other Sites As Well?
- Is this site Credible?
How Do I Tell the Difference Between Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing?
- Quoting- Putting quotation marks around the authors work. (not the whole thing, just a sentence or two.)
- Paraphrasing- Putting what the author said into your own words.
- Summarizing- Putting what the author said into a description of your own words.
- With all 3, you still have to give credit to the author.
What is Plagiarism and How Do I Avoid It?
Plagiarism is the act of presenting the words, ideas, images, sounds, or the creative expressions of others as your own.
You can avoid plagiarism by: quoting SOME of the author's work, paraphrase the work, or you can summarize the work
(with all 3 ways, you still have to give credit with all of the ways to avoid plagiarism)
What is MLA Citation?
MLA citation is the same as regular citation but with a little more information.
A "Works Cited Page" is the same as an Annotated Bibliography.
In- text citations: First using a paraphrase and then using a direct quotation.
