“So You Think You Can Quote”

If you think the art of quoting in a paper is just throwing some quotation marks around another author’s words, think again!  This workshop lesson will focus on teaching the skill of effective quotation.  If you come to this workshop, the mystery of the quotation will be unraveled.  You will learn the answers to the baffling quotation questions that have long plagued you such as: Why do I need to quote anything in the first place?  Where the heck do I put this period?  How can I quote something without unintentionally plagiarizing?
