Which of the following is a good step to take while you are performing research?
If you find a source you think you may use, write down all of the information about it that you will need to reference, cite, and locate it again, and if you record any passages from the source, quote them exactly so that you can decide later how to use them. This will help you avoid plagiarism.
If you find a good source, you can copy the source’s overall thesis, main ideas, and supporting details as your own thesis, main ideas, and supporting details for your entire essay.
If you find an idea you like, just jot it down and move on without writing anything about the source or placing quotation marks around any exact words from the source.
When you create an annotated bibliography, include every single source you’ve even glanced at, which will probably be at least 100 sources, and just write the title and a one-sentence summary of each.
Please choose the statement that is true of research writing.
Attribution is not really necessary and is far overrated; it’s better if the reader thinks you’re a genius; never give credit to anyone else for researched ideas. Like your cousin always said, “finders keepers.”
Any information that did not come from your own brain—information you had to research to find—must always be attributed to the source.
You should always use I when stating an opinion or noting what your essay is about. For example, it is very good to say, “In this essay, I will show you why I believe that, in my opinion, cars are fun.”
When you use a source, the more extreme the verb, the better. Some examples include: “Smith screamed,” “Jones whined,” and “Rodriguez whispered.”
True or False: The balance in a research essay body paragraph should always be weighted toward you and your voice, not toward your sources.
