For this course, we are asked to be able to integrate their ideas with those of others using summary, paraphrase, quotation, analysis, and synthesis of relevant sources. My skills in this area have gotten progressively better throughout this course. For my first writing assignment, I used others’ claims as claims in my essay. I also only quoted directly from the source rather than using summary, paraphrase, or analysis. In my significant writing project, I used source information as evidence supporting my own claims. I also used different ways to cite the sources. For example, I relied more on summary and paraphrase and only used direct quotes when I didn’t have another way of saying it, or if the exact words were necessary. I think that my skills in this area have improved a lot over the semester.
