Week 4
You are welcome to use your sandbox to keep notes. To avoid plagiarism as you do so, follow these steps.


 * 1) Always begin by writing down a full bibliographic entry of the resource you are taking notes on.
 * 2) Whenever you take a note, begin  that note with the page number of the source.
 * 3) When you change pages, put in the new page number before you start taking notes on that page.
 * 4) Distinguish among:
 * 5) &quot;direct quotations&quot; from your source
 * 6) [your own ideas about, interpretations of, and questions you have about] your source. You may even want to include a phrase like &quot;I think&quot; or &quot;I wonder&quot; at the beginning of the bracket.
 * 7)  paraphrases from the source

I use quotation marks for direct quotation; brackets for my own ideas, remarks, and questions; and no formatting for paraphrases.
