Why? – Analyze the style, method, organization, audience, etc. – Make recommendations for how the text could be improved upon – Give an assessment of whether or not you would recommend the book to another person This assignment does not require you to do any outside reading or additional research. You will develop your own review based upon your own close reading of the text. Please use parenthetical citation for direct or indirect references from the text. Plagiarism of any kind will be taken very seriously and will result in the appropriate academic and disciplinary measures outlined by the University of St. Thomas in the University Catalog (See “Policy on Academic Dishonesty”). Plagiarism is generally defined as the presentation of another person’s ideas or writing as one’s own original thought without giving your authentic source(s) proper credit. It is very important that you give proper attribution to your sources when you quote, summarize, or even paraphrase any outside source for any written assignment. Even if it is not your intention to plagiarize, students commonly plagiarize according to Kate Turabian when you have: – Cited a source but used its exact words without putting them in quotation marks or in a block quotation – Paraphrased a source and cited it, but in words so similar to those of your source that they are almost a quotation: anyone could see that you were following the source word-by-word as you paraphrased it. – Used ideas or methods from a source but failed to cite it.
