With most written work for professors (or bosses), if asked, you must
be able to state exactly where (a specific page) in the source that each fact came from—whether you wrote
the words or the author did. With many college assignments, you must provide
citations and use a specific standard (such as MLA, APA, or the Chicago Manual of Style). In this course with most written assignments, you do not need to provide citations (the specific page number from our
textbook) unless I cannot recognize where the fact came
from. If you cite, I certainly do not penalize people, but you must be
accurate. Whether you cite or not: ·
If I cannot recognize where the fact came from, then you must show me the
location on the page or—if you are a distance learning student—talk with me
by phone. ·
Your evidence cannot be a vague statement: if a reasonable person
using a reliable dictionary and reading the entire passage would not agree
that you have evidence for what you say, then neither will
I. If you ask to do the more
challenging alternative assignment instead of the essays for Unit 2, then you must cite
according to the instructions. |
