[@arnoldchristian9501]

that intro was the single best thing ive seen in my life

[@peakdavid]

Thanks for the good words, Arnold. Best success in your work.

[@mortystraphouse5077]

have you seen the battle of the bastards?

[@istafein]

This has confused me for so long, and you cleared it up for me in three minutes. You're great and thank you so much!

[@peakdavid]

Thanks. Maybe you were learning parts of it during the confusion and the video brought it together. Every problem is an opportunity to learn and grow. Right?

[@ekay2491]

You just saved my life. Thank you for this video. I had no clue what my teacher was wanting me to do, and you just explained it in less than 3 minutes. Perfection.

Hey wait a minute, that's not a real classroom..

@@peakdavid hahaha @don't tell anyone.

[@peakdavid]

I guess that means it worked for you. Great to hear.

Stretch--Glad it helped, For specifics on APA and MLA formatting, be sure to search under those terms. This video was very light on formatting basics.

[@peakdavid]

@TYGMUSICCOMPANY -- Hey, thanks. Why not do both?

[@peakdavid]

@metesables -- my advice on that is to write the essay first in whatever tense seems to fit and then worry about changing something. If by "book" you mean a literary work, there is a thing called the "literary present." So you would write, "Stephen King presents good and evil in religious terms in his early work Carrie." But always write first, correct second.

[@peakdavid]

@nltandjonas -- that is correct. The name for this is the "as quoted in" or "as cited in" quotation. Also called quote-within-a-quote or secondary quotation. Use a shortened title to replace the author's name inside parentheses. If the title is an article, put title in quote marks. Otherwise, put title in italics.

[@spawnofmunky]

Oh my god. Thank you, I have to revise an essay and was supposed to talk to a teacher about it but forgot to, thank you so much!

[@derekmantzke6131]

David Taylor, you are a gentlemen and a scholar.

[@peakdavid]

Thank you, sir!

[@metesables]

i have question. When you write an essay about a book do you do in present tense, if so when you find quotes and try to explain do you also keep in present tense?. Thank you.

[@nltandjonas]

Question: when you use a quote from an source with NO author or page number and you've already INTRODUCED who said the quote (using a phrase like "Snyder says") do you just use the TITLE of the source as the in-text citation?

[@peakdavid]

You best bet there would be a video on how to use the automatic spelling checkers.

[@peakdavid]

You are very welcome.

[@Thedudericky34]

thanks David Taylor you came in clutch with this one!!!

[@peakdavid]

Excellent! Glad it helped.

[@pumpkinpie1067]

Hi David, I found your page/channel while studying for the Clep composition exam. I listened to the 5 paragraph essay and loved the layout and simplicity of the lesson. If I may suggest, there are so many people studying and preparing for a specific exam, like Clep for example. It would be nice to find videos that address each main chapter of the exam. I.e Rhetorical Analysis/ Idioms etc. This video in particular, citing resource material using apa/mla style, is a perfect example of a knowledge base that is tested. Hence, why I'm here! So, keep it up! People are accessing the internet and videos such as this one on a daily basis to help them prepare for exams.

[@peakdavid]

Thanks for this wonderful feedback, Anne Marie. That is a fantastic idea.

[@Tane-00]

This really helped clear up a few concerns of mine! Thank you for this video.

[@davidreid8769]

Thanks for the video! I like the way you go about introducing the quote.

[@peakdavid]

DAvid REid You got it, David. The key is to introduce the quote so that if flows with your writing.

[@BILLO101]

This was the video I needed the most...... thanks a lot.

[@peakdavid]

You are welcome!

[@mrthanks1]

hey David, our instructor points out that the use of words like, that. says, explains and etc., makes your integration weak. you should introduce your quote without using these words. What your take on this? thanks for your time.

[@peakdavid]

mr thanks Did instructor explain WHY those words make integration weak? Did instructor provide alternate ways? Did instructor explain that different disciplines integrate quotes in different ways? Beware of anyone who makes sweeping generalizations. The idea is to avoid "dropped quotations." However you do that can vary widely.

[@dataman6744]

Hi Dave do yu have examples of wiitten critical evaluation essay examples?

[@peakdavid]

I wish that I did. I no longer teach that course in which the critical evaluation essay was written.

[@dreamsofendlessguitar167]

This is great. So, following up after a quote is a common practice?

[@peakdavid]

Yes, otherwise the quote may not be integrated fully into your own writing, but would lie on top of the paragraph like an oil spill.

[@samehsam5905]

Can I ask you please about my topic since it is corona it is difficult to contact my supervisor ,my master thesis title is Trump s Populsim and Hate Crimes Against Muslims at first I divided the topic into 3 chapters : 1/populism 2/hate crimes 3/ is going to be the analysis or the conclusion i have four resreach questions when i started working i found that I answered 3 qs in 1 st chapter which the 2 first chapters supposed to be theoratical so I am thinking of switching the chapters into: 1 / hate crimes against muslims in USA 2/ populism in USA 3/ is going to be the result and one qs left about the relation btwn trump and hate crimes So my question is can I start with the case study i.e Hate crimes and then talk about populism ??

Yes, that order makes sense. Just be sure to provide a connection between the two.
