Recommendations: Familiarize yourself with the questions before you begin your readings. Take notes on relevant points or concepts raised in the readings. Keep these questions in mind during lectures and highlight key ideas in your notes. After each reading and lecture take some time to write down your impressions (you may want to do this as a free-write). Organize your ideas with an outline. Write multiple drafts. Before turning in the final draft, I recommend that you make an appointment with a tutor in the Writer’s Resource Lab: http://www.cla.csulb.edu/departments/english/wrl/. They can help you catch errors that you may not have noticed.
Cite all sources correctly:
If you are using someone else’s words, they need to be either thoroughly paraphrased and cited, or they need to be put in quotes and cited. Incomplete paraphrasing (changing a few words in every sentence, for example) is a form of plagiarism. Paraphrasing means conveying specific ideas and information in your own words; it involves totally rewriting the sentences, while maintaining the correct intent of the writer you are paraphrasing. Paraphrased content also needs to be cited.
Paraphrasing is an important tool, in many cases a direct quote is not necessary. However, care needs to be taken to paraphrase correctly.
Be sure to thoroughly cite any information taken from the readings listed above using the standard MLA or Chicago style format. (The fact that you are using class readings does not excuse you from citing all quoted and paraphrased materials correctly). Upload your essay to the dropbox and review your Originality Report: A couple of days before the final draft is due, upload your paper to the dropbox. Check back later to view the Originality Report. Check carefully to see if you are citing all of your sources correctly. Correct any issues you encounter. Then, resubmit a revised draft and include a note explaining that it is your updated draft. Here is what the beachboard help page says about checking your Originality Report:
To view your Turnitin Originality report and Grademark comments (if the instructor has used this tool and allowed you to see the reports), click the the icon under Markup on the View Feedback page. Or, if you see a colored block and percentage under Report, click the colored section to see your Originality report. Doing either will open your Originality report at Turnitin's website in a new window. Click on Grademark in the upper left corner to view comments left by the instructor or Originality to view your originality report.

Essay Formatting and Citation Guidelines written assignments for this class need to follow these guidelines Paper Layout - 1-inch margins on top, bottom, and sides - 12-point standard font - double-spaced - you can follow either the MLA format (the typical style for the humanities) or the Chicago style format (the style used for art history). Citing Sources: Whenever you are quoting or paraphrasing written sources, you need to cite them. For citation guidelines you can choose from the MLA style or the Chicago style in my classes (the important thing is to understand that there are different styles, and that different disciplines have different expectations). For in-depth guidelines for these two styles, revisit the website listed above: See the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) for citation guidelines https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ See the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) for help with knowing when to paraphrase, quote or summarize: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/563/1/ and this handout about paraphrasing effectively produced by the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL): https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/owlprint/619/
Paper Length: Paper length requirements are based on word count. Word count is based on the words in the body of your essay, not on headings, bibliography, etc. note: If you are struggling to meet a minimum length requirement on a paper, go back to the drawing board: brainstorm, make lists, freewrite.
