Integrating Quotations into Sentences You should never have a quotation standing alone as a complete sentence, or, worse yet, as an incomplete sentence, in your writing. IVCC's Style Book explains this concept well with a good analogy that describes quotations as helium balloons. We all know what happens when you let go of a helium balloon: it flies away.
100 Years of Flight! On December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers ushered in the age of aviation. The first successful powered flight covered 120 feet (less than the length of the aisle on a 747) but it influenced the course of history. Show your class how two midwestern bike mechanics changed the world, with activities, books, and Web sites celebrating the centennial of their accomplishment. Create TimelinesMany of the books featured at right include charts or timelines with important dates. As your students read and learn about the Wright Brothers, have them diagram, for example, the Wrights' lives, the evolution of the Flyer, or the history of aviation. Or have a group of students create a classroom-sized timeline that the rest of the class illustrates with drawings, diagrams, and captions.
Why reference? You probably know that it is important to use referencing in your writing at university, but why is it so important? Using the right sources in your work provides you with the supporting evidence you need in your assignment. Referencing is the acknowledgement of the sources that you use in your work. You must reference all sources that you use in your assignment, including words and ideas, facts, images, videos, audio, websites, statistics, diagrams and data.

Additionally, Lumio provides users with internal search functionality that allows them to quickly search through and locate saved content.
To tackle student cheating, we need to reimagine university assessment Ghost-writing academic work is nothing new but until relatively recently it was out of reach of most students.
