    I used the UNHMM. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. It didn't really give an author but I used it and my instructor said it was a reliable source. I don't think because an author does not state their name,that it means the article or site is unreliable. If anything, most of the time I have come across many sites that don't give an author but are extremely reliable. Large organizations, like the Holocaust Museum research the field thoroughly by going to the site of their article or getting first hand accounts. Even sometimes, those sites arecollaborated with many other people that are on the same team or that make up the organization that you're citing. But thank you for the video it was extremely helpful

You DO NOT need to add a specific time in the film that you are quoting or referencing, correct?

    Just an FYI, with the Bestul signal phrase example, there should be a comma OR "that" but not both. A comma and "that" basically serve the same function in most instances: linking one idea to the next, e.g. "I think that I'm crazy about grammar and punctuation." Sorry...my friends call me a grammar and punctuation gorilla for good reason.

  • @thetristateadjunct3887
    @thetristateadjunct3887 8 років тому

    Re. your first sample slide: When quoting, if you insist on using the word "that" to introduce your quotation, you would not place a comma after it. It is a subordinator and you are creating a subordinate clause: a comma never follows the subordinator. It doesn't matter that you're following it with a quote. Also, because you are using "that," in addition to dropping the comma you need to lowercase the first word of the quote, putting the "t" in brackets, indicating your edit. But, really, the recommended way to do this would be to drop the "that," keep the comma, and keep the capital letter -- thereby minimizing your necessary edits. "Suggests" is a communication verb that can take an object right after it.
