Example 3: Understanding the History Well and Using Quotations Effectively (Not Just Copying a Bunch of Quotations) – 1301 Student (Grade Averages as an A-)
This person used quotations, and that’s fine in this course. (Caution: Typing another’s words without quotation marks is not fine.) The person did two things that make the use of quotation earn high points:
- Selected quotations that indicated understanding of the content.
- Placed the quotations in context of introductory sentences and phrases that showed any reader the purpose of the quotation
Had one error in using a quotation (CL 3) and that’s very unsafe if you use quotations. Had two minor meaning errors.
Additional Caution: What fails is just writing a bunch of quotations one after another with no way for a reader to guess why you chose them.
