    Tips & Tricks

    What are Secondary Sources?  Journal articles & chapters etc... written about a work of literature and offering a critical view of that work are called literary criticism.

    What are Primary Sources?  Original works of literature and uninterpreted information about an event or period of time.

    Beware Wikipedia!
    It can't be cited in academic essays (avoid sites where authors aren't accountable for contributions). 

    Evaluate! Evaluate! Evaluate!
    Be critical about everything you read

    Avoid Plaigiarism
    Don't use an author's work or ideas without referencing them (yes, even if it's not directly quoted & you've changed the words)

    ISBN: 9780761858454
