Advice to other Rats
Every time you write information in an essay that you didn’t know previously to writing, make sure that you paraphrase in your own words, and in a different structure (order) than the writer from who you are obtaining the information. In addition, make sure you always use in-text citations when adding in you things hadn’t known before writing (from a different source). If you find a source that explains something perfectly, then use quotes. Make sure your sentence with quotes begins and ends in quotation marks. If the quote is longer than four lines, then put it in a block quote. Also, make sure everything you reference is relevant to your argument.
