Books and Other Reading Materials 

Most all the readings for this class will be supplied to you, free of charge. You will be able to find them on our COURSE READINGS page on our OpenLab website. Please bookmark that page on your browser.

However, I may recommend a couple of books for you to purchase during the course of the semester. Here is one that I recommend you purchase. You can also get a free PDF download here:

 Graff, Gerald & Cathy Birkenstein, They Say I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing, volume 3, 2014.

Description: A great book full of helpful templates on how to integrate quotations into your work. (The templates start around page 780 if you just want those, but I also recommend reading the book at some point of your college career.)
