In this chapter, The Art of Quoting is reviewed by elaborating on when the appropriate time to use a quotation from a passage is and the structure of a quotation. Quoting is extremely important because using outside knowledge and not citing that knowledge correctly can lead to plagiarism which is very serious and can become means for expulsion. It is advised to only use quotations when knowledge from an outside source cannot be paraphrased. Paraphrasing is used far more often than quoting as it makes the writer use their own words instead of somebody else’s.
What I learned: In this chapter I learned how to properly format a quotation. I learned that the most important part of the quote is in fact not in the quotation but the quote lead-ins. Quote lead-ins tie one’s own writing to the writing of an outside source.
