So far I have learned about paraphrasing and in text citations during our research so far. In paraphrasing you need to find the right balance in using your own words but using the correct information. I have also learned to use proper in text citations. There are also many different kinds of citations to use. These processes have helped me a lot during the researching and writing stages.
One thing we have worked on that I do not feel comfortable with is embedding quotes. I struggle in knowing where to put the comma's at during the quotation. I am also not great at having a sentence leading into the quote to make it clear. You also need to explain after the quote so the reader can understand the point you are making easily. Hopefully I am able to improve on embedding quotes as the process continues.
I agree on the embedding, and I too hope to improve on the skills. Keep up the good work.
