These videos are very rough. I’m not good at this yet. They are made with Jing—a free product and have Jing’s advertisement at the top.  If they help you, I will do them over in summer with a better tool. If you see things that you need or that need 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.

Would anyone pay you?

 

If you had problems with:

·         Citation, use Bedford 1 and Bedford 2

·         “Half-copy” plagiarism, use Bedford 3

·         Quotations, use Bedford 4
