How to Document Sources in Your Papers

Below are links to Diana Hacker's A Writer's Reference website that will tell you specifically how to document your work in your last paper.

For the link to see how to document within the text of the work - for example, if you are quoting directly from another source or are paraphrasing their work - click here.

For the link to see how to write a works cited page which you need to do for your paper, click here.

As always - if you have questions, please email me or talk to me before or after class. I am happy to help you do this properly before your paper is due.

It is expected that you will have a works cited page for your final paper. You may or may not choose to paraphrase or quote within the paper - but make sure you give credit for ideas that are not your own. It is very obvious when you are borrowing from another's work and you will be penalized for not documenting properly.
