This book is an introduction to the conventions of writing with sources at the college level. Some readers will have been trained in writing with sources before coming to college; others will have had little or no training. Writing With Sources is addressed to both groups. Without a grasp of this information you risk taking valuable time away from the students creative process of writing and in certain circumstances could face disciplinary action. Even if you believe you already understand when and how to cite sources, you should compare your understanding with the instructions in this book.

Great For Historiography!,
By Carolyn A. Kemp (Long Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writing With Sources: A Guide for Students (Paperback)
This book is a great supplement for history students. It is short and to the point, it reads well and it has valuable information about integrating sources into term papers, theses and dissertations. It provides how-to information on writing historically that other writer's manuals do not.

Better to teach citation than to punish plagiarism,

This review is from: Writing With Sources: A Guide for Students (Paperback)
Too many college writing guides tell students what *not* to do without giving them sufficient instruction on how to craft original papers. I assign this book to all my undergraduates, and I think it has helped considerably in cutting down instances of plagiarism and other misuse of sources.
