Writing Repertoire

 

 "Flip through the sources."

"What purpose does this serve?"

 "Flip-- through the sources."

"Really? Again?"

 "Flip. Though. The. Sources."

"Alright, alright. Flipping, flipping."

 Direct quote, paraphrase, summarize. All very useful tactics of writing, I'm sure. Can't go a single day in this class without learning something, am I right? And that's just called getting an edumacation.

 Not a typo, completely intentional.

 When you're being spoon fed sources, don't pick the position that contradicts them. Let them, your sources, lead you. To what you may well ask? To a 3/6, reader. To a glorious, and widely revered 3/6. To evaluate is to judge. And DO NOT READ EVERY WORD. SKIM for goodness sake. Skim like your life depends on it, because your time management certainly does. Subsequently, your grade as well.
