Here are some tips as we move forward: First, always complete all the required readings. In Unit I, we were assigned the Introduction. A test question might be directly on what is in that part of the reading. Always try to refer directly the key page on which an answer is given. Second, quoting a source is fine. Be sure to document the page, etc. for the citation. Also, key points should be made in your own words. In this way, even if you quote, you need to explain what the quote says and why you provided it.
