Part 1
At some point this week, you’ll turn from researching and coordinating to drafting. This means that you’ll be using
sources from your research and citing them. Many students commit errors when citing: sometimes they don’t quit
know the rules of a particular citation style, or sometimes they don’t know that there’s more to citation than just
quotation. Other times, students don’t know how to properly introduce and “integrate” a source with their own writ
These are the most consistent mistakes I’ve seen over many years of teaching various college writing courses.
This activity will help you to avoid those errors.
First, open up this document (you will see the document interval training in office environment FS)Preview the
document. It’s actually one of the feasibility reports from last week’s Analysis.
It’s divided into five sections and they’re all labeled, 1-5. Find sections 3 and 4.
Put this aside for a moment and review these two web pages that define precisely what quotation, paraphrasing,
summary are, and how they both differ and relate to each other.

To conclude your preparation, review this web site on “integration” — how to properly introduce quotations,
paraphrases, and summaries.

Now, follow the instructions below to complete the analysis.
1. Find one sentence from section 4.2 that’s worthy of quotation using the criteria in the websites above. Quote th
sentence or passage (it doesn’t have to be a complete sentence if it becomes grammatically a part of your own
sentence) after introducing it properly. Use parenthetical citation with MLA or APA style.
Write one 2-3 sentences that explain why you chose this language to quote.
2. Find one sentence or passage from section 3 to paraphrase. Once again, introduce the language that you’re
paraphrasing and use parenthetical citation with MLA or APA style.
Write 2-3 sentences explaining why you paraphrased this language instead of quoting it.
3. Summarize the entirety of section 4. As a rule of thumb, a summary is approximately 10 percent the length of t
original. Introduce the summary just as you would if you were using it in a real essay, and parenthetically cite.
Write 2-3 sentences describing the strategy you used to summarize this section.
Part 2
Given that your next report will need to be both written *and* designed, I want to take the opportunity to use the fo
this week to help you to identify resources available to you. While the textbook offers some very solid and basic
design advice, there are also great ebooks available to you as students through the OSU Library websiteLinks to
external site.. These books are not otherwise available (for free).
So, using the OSU Library (Links to an external site.), type in one of the titles below.
The Pocket Universal Principles of Design
The post Principles for Using Grids first appeared on COMPLIANT PAPERS.
