Citations

Citations Here are three ways to get help with your citations:
 * || Copying--called plagiarism--occurs when a writer uses someone else's language, ideas, or other original material without acknowledging its source. Whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to the work of another writer, you are required to cite its source, either by using a parenthetical citation or by integrating the name of the source into the text of the paper. There are different "styles" for creating citations, but most teachers prefer MLA style.


 * ** Use Google Docs. You can get a free Add-On called EasyBib Bibliography Creator. (This is by far the easiest option!) **
