Integrating Sources

Section 1 Summary:
You are the source of your particular argument. There's a primary and secondary source: primary source functions as uninterpreted data and you interpret significance. Secondary source does discuss your subject and you decide to accept or challenge it. Documenting sources makes your argument stronger and is an obligation. If you don't document sources, it's dishonest.

Section 2 Summary:
First Principle
Use sources as compressed and simple as possible so your voice/ideas are separated from the author's ideas. When summarizing, use your own words with occasional quoted words or phrases from the source. Be clear what you are summarizing. Put as much as you can in your words. Be careful when paraphrasing as well to clarify statements.
Second Principle
Be clear when you are speaking and when you are using your source.
Third Principle
Be clear how your paper related to your argument.
Rules for Quoting:
Use really inspiring quotes that flow smoothly from your own sentence. Make it easy for the reader to who is speaking.
Technical Rules
/ indicates line-break in a quote
Be careful where you put commas, colons, and semicolons in quotation marks
Always quote verbatim

Section 3 Summary:
When to Cite
You make a citation in your paper that tells the reader where to find that source and such. You use a citation when you use info or data you found for quotes, summarizing or paraphrasing info, or when you use a source's method and whatnot.
When Not to Cite
Common knowledge
Everyday speech or phrases
Conversation between friends
Methods of Citing: Sequential Notes

author, book title, publication, and year
In-text citing at the end of the sentence has the author and year in parenthesis. An in-text citing at the beginning has the author's last name starting the sentence and then year and page number in parenthesis and the sentence continues on.

Section 4 Summary:
Plagiarism is passing off a source's information, ideas, or words as your own by omitting to acknowledge that source-an act of lying, cheating, and stealing. Plagiarism is accomplished by uncited information and ideas, a verbatim phrase that isn't quoted and cited, and an uncited structure that the original author used. Other forms include: misrepresenting evidence which means skewing evidence to make it true; improper collaboration where two or more students turn in more or less the same work; dual or overlapping submission where someone submits work from one class to another; and abetting plagiarism where a student helps another student. In short, don't plagiarize or the university will kick you out and you end up a homeless person.

Section 5 Summary:
