Citing Sources

The Introduction does a very good job in helping us understand the importance of citing in our writing. By doing so, our papers are strenthened. We also show that we put forth an effort to give the reader the best information possible and that we, as ordinary people, aren't just rambling on about the subject.
Chapter one help us know how we should quote a source and the proper way of intoducing a source. By knowing these things, we will better guide the reader through our paper and avoid the reader wondering who's words are who's. The paper will flow much better as we cite sources properly.
Chapter 2 helps us to know when to cite, and when not to. It also teaches us about the different ways we can cite.
Chapter 3 teaches about that plagarism is anytime we use anothers words and don't give them credit. It teaches us how to avoid plagarism in our writing and how to avoid getting into trouble by giving us simple ideas to help us with our writing.
Chapter 4 teaches us about bibliograhies for different types of sources. It shows us how to cite the source in different writing styles.
Overall this is a very informative book which will help us to strengthen our writing. If we can learn to properly cite sources, our papers will be more educated and easier to understand.
