Citations:
You should include some citations
· Citing sources is a good way to demonstrate understanding of the material. It is also how scholars situate themselves in the larger conversation in which they are participating.
· It does not matter how you format your citations as long as you are clear and consistent.
· Don’t cite me (my lectures, my slides). I’m almost always explaining the work of someone else. You should figure out who I was talking about and cite them.
When to cite?
· a good rule of thumb is to provide a citation any time you attribute a view to someone.

Socrates believes that erotic love can be ennobling insofar as it directs us to virtue. “[and here is a quote from Socrates to prove that he does in fact believe what I just said he believes”] Now I’m restating the quote in my own words and explaining how this view is related to whatever case I’m making.
