You do not need to cite information that is
considered “common knowledge” or is a generally
accepted fact.
Generally, something does not need to be cited if it
is a fact that can be found in at least three reliable
sources.
Examples:
The sky is blue.
Approximately 6 million Jews were killed in the
Holocaust.
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2.
“Common knowledge” applies to specific, brief
facts.
11.
You do not need to cite when you are writing
your own experiences, your own observations,
your own insights, your own thoughts, or your
own conclusions on a subject.
12.
There are three ways to use the work of
someone else:
Quoting
Paraphrasing
Summarizing
Because we want you to build your own
understanding of the information through an
assignment, most of your use of another
person’s work will be in paraphrases and
summaries.
13.
Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from
source material into your own words. A
paraphrase must also be attributed to the original
source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter
than the original passage, taking a somewhat
broader segment of the source and condensing it
slightly.
Paraphrasing is a useful skill because the mental
process required for successful paraphrasing helps
you to grasp the full meaning of the original.

Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
Set the original aside, and write your paraphrase on a note card.
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later
how you envision using this material. At the top of the note
card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your
paraphrase.
Check your rendition with the original to make sure that your
version accurately expresses all the essential information in a new
form.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you
have borrowed exactly from the source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you
can credit it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into your
paper.
15.
Summarizing involves putting the main
idea(s) into your own words, including only
the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to
attribute summarized ideas to the original
source. Summaries are significantly shorter
than the original and take a broad overview of
the source material.
