How can I make sure my sources have the right "apropriateness?"

Don't use questionable

Submitted by jswoodho on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:10.

Don't use questionable sources to support your position. Stick to academic sources and materials that anyone could obatin for themselves such as books, magazines, and websites. Interviewing your grandmother might not be very convincing, but if your grandmother is an expert in the field then that would be appropriate.

whatever we talk about, do

Submitted by shamsus on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:02.

whatever we talk about, do we have to link it to what one of the sources had mentioned?

reply

Submitted by jacksonr on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:09.

If you mean the ones we had to read for class, I don't think so.

Sources

Submitted by awilson on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:09.

You have to find sources that support what you want to say. This does not necessarily mean that you have to use any of the sources that we used in class. You can find your own sources that relate to the topics that you want to discuss in your paper.

In the rubric under source

Submitted by pgloye on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:02.

In the rubric under source use it says number. Does that just mean that we have to have 2 sources or is it talking about how many parenthetical notations we have in the paper and that number needing to be appropriate.

Under Source

Submitted by eleider on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:08.

It is to make sure that we have used at least 2 sources.

number

Submitted by dpochmar on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:09.

You technically just need to have 2 sources. The in-text citations won't be counted, but are necessary for a good research paper.

length

Submitted by ckstacy on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:02.

I see that length is still part of the criteria for which we are being graded on. I believe that the paper could be shorter as long as the point gets across and all the needed information is present. Are we using it as more of a guideline now or should the paper still be at least five pages?

Citations

Submitted by rnfrazie on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:02.

Would a few errors with in-text citations cause a significant impact on our grade? Also, does the subheading "number" deal with the amount of sources used?

???

Submitted by jswoodho on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:04.

Couldn't organization and coherence be the same thing? I would think that if you aren't organized your paper isn't coherent.

page

Submitted by ehedstro on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:04.

is the work cited page part of the five pages

No

Submitted by pgloye on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:08.

No

Nope

Submitted by wilson70 on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:08.

Well the other projects that we read had 5 pages plus the works cited page

No, the works cited is not

Submitted by chanor on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:08.

No, the works cited is not counted in the 5 page total.

Project 2 Question

Submitted by awilson on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:05.

About how many times should we cite works in our text?

you should cite a sources

Submitted by cburgess on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:12.

you should cite a sources every time you use someone else's idea.

project 2 question

Submitted by jacksonr on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:05.

My question is,on the rubric what exactly does originality mean? Do you mean original from the papers we've read for assignments, from other students' papers, or do you mean from both?

Originality

Submitted by rnfrazie on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:08.

I think what is meant by originality is that you are able to put the information you are presenting in the paper into your own words and aren't just rehashing whatever source you used said. That you are actually forming your own opinion and only using your sources to back-up your statements.

Sources

Submitted by chanor on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:07.

I was just wondering if it was OK if we didn't use any of the sources that you provided us.

appropriatness

Submitted by cburgess on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:08.

On what guidelines should use to justify the appropriatness of a cite, do you just want use to use scholarly searches?

Submitted by hong26 on Mon, 2006-03-27 09:08.
