Slide 3 - Slide

Using sources in your essay
  • Since you have to add the X (example, from the TEXAS method), you will have to use sources in your essay. 
  • These sources need to be documented, since you cannot simply use other people's work. This would be plagiarism. 
  • You can either directly quote a source, in this case you can use the exact same words as were used in the source.
  • Or you can paraphrase what the source said, in this case you have to use your own words to describe what another author has said. 
  • There is a difference between in-text citations, and full citations. 

Slide 4 - Slide

In-text citations 
When mentioning information you have found in your paragraph, you are going to use in-text citations. 

There are a couple of options: 
  • You are paraphrasing what another source said 
    narrative citation: According to Edwards (2017) ...
    parathentical citation: This is a point found in recent studies (Edwards, 2017). 
  • You are directly quoting from another source 
    As mentioned by Edwards (2017) "..."
    This becomes clear when "..." (Edwards, 2017) 

Slide 5 - Slide

In-text citations 
  • Usually, a source is an article or study about the same subject. 
  • When mentioning this source, you give the author's last name and the year the article was written/the study was conducted. 
  • The table on the next page gives you information on how to cite different kind of sources.
