“Strengthen your source use practices (including evaluating, integrating, quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, synthesizing, analyzing, and citing sources)”

As stated before in “CLO #7,” finding the right citations can make or break your essay. Using strong evidence will help support and back up your claim to make it harder for people to refute it. Also summarizing what you say is helpful to present a sufficient case as to why the audience would want to read your paper. As shown in the lab report, an abstract was created to help intrigue the reader’s interest (figure 1) so that they can continue reading the rest of the report if they choose to do so. Then throughout the lab, graphs, data, and equations were used to help support the findings of the lab to answer the big question of the experiment and hypothesis (figure 2).
