The professor began class by recording attendance before going through our homework from the previous week. She suggested that we read the rubric carefully and mentioned that several students had lost points for their failure to cite sources in their paraphrase and quote. The difference between narrative and the parenthetical was then discussed, along with how students often confuse the two. According to her, when citing a direct quote of three words or more, the page or paragraph number must be added; however, if the author is being summarised or paraphrased, the page or paragraph number is not required. She continued by saying that we should proofread the paper before turning it in at several points.
