Citing Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism

Do you have questions about how to paraphrase and summarize (and the rules for citing sources when you do so)? At this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of in-text citations as well as how to create various types of reference pages for your sources… it’s the most fun you’ll have all week!

Using Your Professor’s Feedback
Getting feedback on your writing is part of the writing process! But sometimes it’s challenging to make changes when you get your draft back. This workshop will help you figure out how to understand your professor’s suggestions and give you tips on integrating that feedback into your revised draft.

Revision Strategies
At this point in the semester, you probably have a revision begging for your attention! In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create a reverse outline – a powerful tool to help you analyze and revise your work. You’ll take apart a short essay, see what the paragraphs are doing, learn how to re-organize them… and even figure out what you’re really saying.

Sentence Flow & Sentence Level Choices
This workshop will provide tips on how to make sentences flow! We’ll look at the composition of individual sentences as well as how they connect to form a paragraph and ultimately an essay. You’ll learn how choices when it comes to a word, a phrase, or even a single piece of punctuation can change the rhythm and meaning of a sentence.
Workshop Leaders: Benny Morduchowitz & Jack Freedman
