  1. I’ve always worried citing too much. Is it better to paraphrase or quote directly from the source? Most often I choose to just quote directly from the source and have I have to cite again. I guess better safe than sorry.

  2. Thank you for the PowerPoint overview, Amanda. I think that I have learned from the information here, and the readings over the last several weeks, that citing plays a much larger role when composing research reports or critical reviews of other’s academic contributions than what I have become accustom to in a traditional argumentative or analytical papers. I have always thought that I cited well, but I feel now that I’ll have to be much more aware of crediting sources that contributed to my understanding of a topic and not just citing when I’m pulling statistics or quotes directly from their contributions.
