ENG 102: Library Skills Task Quiz

What is the main objective of Part 1 of the Library Skills Task?

• To write a detailed summary of one excellent academic source.

• To find three relevant sources of different types and create a correctly formatted and labeled reference page.

• To write a detailed outline for the upcoming Academic Essay.

• To find three sources that all support the exact same argument.

For Part 1, which set of sources would meet the requirements?

• Three different articles from the World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews.

• A chapter from a book on boundaries, an article from the New York Times, and a journal article from the library database.

• The three readings your instructor provided for the course.

• Any three websites found through a quick Google search.

When you create the reference page for Part 1, what is the unique instruction you must follow in addition to using the assigned citation style?

• You must put the list in chronological order instead of alphabetical order.

• You only need to include the author's name and the title of the work.

• You must write a short summary under each source.

• You must label each component of the citation (e.g., "Author," "Title of Article," "Publication Date").

The written task in Part 2 asks you to write a single paragraph that contains three key elements. What are they?

• A personal opinion, a direct quote, and a conclusion.

• A summary of the source, a justification for your choice, and a detailed explanation of its purpose in your essay.

• An analysis of the author's life, a list of the source's key terms, and a question for your instructor.

• A comparison with a course reading, a contrast with another source, and your thesis statement.

According to the task criteria, what does the "justification" for your source selection involve?

• Proving that the author's argument in the source is 100% correct.

• Explaining why the source is relevant to your essay and why you chose it, possibly by discussing its reliability.

• Stating that you found the source interesting to read.

• Justifying why you did not choose the other two sources you found.

When explaining your source's "purpose in the essay" for Part 2, what should you describe?

• The author's main purpose for writing the source.

• How you specifically plan to use the source's ideas to build your own argument (e.g., for background, evidence, or a counterargument).

• The purpose of the library database where you found it.

• A general statement that the source is related to boundaries.

Imagine you are quoting this sentence from a course reading: "We have sacrificed conversation for mere connection". If your instructor assigned APA style for the task, which in-text citation is correct?

• (Turkle, p. 1)

• (Turkle 1)

• (Turkle, 2012, p. 1)

• (The New York Times, 2012)

How is the final version of the Part 2 written task submitted?

• It is only handwritten during one class hour.

• It is only typed and submitted directly to your instructor via email.

• It is first completed by hand in class, and then a typed version is submitted to Turnitin via Moodle.

• It is submitted as a draft, and you wait for instructor feedback before submitting the final version.

The "Citing Sources" presentation argues that properly citing sources is a form of "academic integrity". How does this idea connect to the main course theme of boundaries?

• Citing is a boundary that stops you from using too many sources.

• Citing is like setting a boundary; it creates a clear line between your ideas and the author's, showing respect for their work.

• Academic integrity means you should never use sources that conflict with your own ideas.

• Setting boundaries in writing is only important when using APA style, not MLA.

10. What happens if you fail to properly attribute a source or present someone else's work as your own in the Library Skills Task?

• a) You will receive a 5% penalty on the assignment.

• b) You will have a chance to redo the assignment for full credit.

• c) You will receive a zero for the task and may face further disciplinary action from the university.

• d) Your instructor will fix the citation for you.
