Note: Almost of everything that is here I was
taught between the 4th and the 12th grade. These things
are basics, and they can make your life—not just your grade—better. They are
not just keys to evidence but to learning and thinking accurately These videos are very rough. I’m not good

advertisement at the top. If they help you, I will do them over in

clarifications, please tell me so I can make this better. If you need something
explained personally, I am glad to do it. |

What does the underlining in the D and F column mean about my work? |
5 Good Habits for Evidence and the Rubric Tip: If you are writing for a boss or professor who does not want citations, you can write citations with endnotes as you work. When done, you copy your file for the boss or professor and remove the endnotes. When your boss or professor demands proof on something, you will know the exact page. If you need details, ask. |
If you had problems with: · Citation, use Bedford 1 and Bedford 2 · “Half-copy” plagiarism, use Bedford 3 · Quotations, use Bedford 4 |
