- As one former CEU student
  put it: 'if you use too many sources, your own ideas get lost, but
  if you write on your own, it's like 'who's interested? - where's
  the authority?' Making reference to published authors who
  have said something similar or discussed similar questions is the
  key way of increasing your own 'authority' - establishing
  your credentials as someone who is entitled to contribute to the
  academic dialogue.

  - a)
    Using Direct Quotation
    
    In
    general, when writers choose to quote rather than paraphrase, they
    usually do so because the language in the text is vivid, provocative,
    unusual, or because the exact wording is historically or legally
    important; and this could possibly be lost in a paraphrase or summary.
    
    For
    example:
    
    "Life
    is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life."
    (6)
    
    In
    such cases, especially where the original to be quoted is short
    and pithy, it is probably better not to paraphrase.
  - Again,
    to maintain your own voice, if you quote someone, don't just leave
    your reader to work out for themselves why you quoted that person;
    follow up the quotation with a comment of your own which ties it
    into your argument.
  - If you need to quote longer
    passages (usually more than four lines), set the quotation off
    in an indented, single-spaced block (called a 'block quotation').
    If you do this, you no longer need to use quotation marks.
  - When
    you quote less than a full sentence, be careful to match the
    grammar of your own words to those of the quotation so that
    the two fit together as if they were one sentence. If you have
    to change the grammar of the original quotation, you should
    put any altered words in square brackets [ ].
  - b)
    Using Paraphrase and Summary
  - Paraphrasing
  - Summarising
  - c)
    Using reporting verbs (integral citation)
  - Plagiarism
    
    There
    are several good reasons for crediting sources. First, it increases
    your authority, showing that you have read and are familiar with
    the existing research in your field. Second, it places your research
    in the broader debate and indicates where more information can be
    obtained about the topic. Lastly, giving credit to your sources
    is a way of paying the intellectual debt you owe to those scholars
    whose work you used. Failure to pay this debt is called plagiarism
    and is punished in the academic world.
  - CEU's
    policy document, "Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism"(9),
    defines plagiarism like this:

Rhetorical appeals in Barack Obama's inaugural address | Diigo on 2009-01-21
- “we” and “our”
- “we” and “our”
- 6 more annotations...
- - it was really noticeable how many rhetorical appeals are found in any given speech
  - The easiest to identify is an obvious reference to someone famous or trusted while the hardest deals with the speaker himself.
  - By stating this he linked the past to the future.
  - Their expressions are written all over them. That is the first of the evidence that his speech is more moved by the the pathos appeal. When watching the speech on You-Tube I paid very close attention to peoples reactions and expressions and the people seemed to get really excited when Obama said words like, " Yes we can", "It can be done", and words such as " we and our".
  - Every time i listen to him speak i get goose bumps
  - I think that because of the poor status of our nation’s morale recently, it was very important for Obama to make a speech flooded with pathos.
