Parts 1,2,3,4, Integrating Sources

Part One:
Part one of Integrating Sources explores three basic principles that a writer should follow when integrating sources into a paper. The first principle states that a writer should not overuse paraphrasing or quoting because this takes away from the writers own actual thoughts.

The third princple aims to make sure that the writer clarifies why the source being integrated is of importance to their writing. Rules for quoting, how to quote big chunks, and using footnotes sparingly for discurve notes.

Part Two:
Part two explore citing sources that are used. This part goes over when to cite, when not to cite, and acknowledging sourcs that one isn't able tot cite. Some of the key points demonstrated for when to cite include: "whenever you mention in passing some aspect of one's work", "whenever you use factual information or data you found in a source", and "whenever you quote verbatem." there are other points established and most of them tie in with giving credit where credit is due. The when not to cite section is pretty self explantory with not citing common knowledge, every day, conversational items taking precident.

Part Three:
Part three attempts to teach the writer "how to avoid high risk situations" by avoiding plagiarism and the misuse of sources.
