QUOTING SOURCES WITHIN YOUR POWERPOINT


When ever you want to use a quote or copy a sentence into you PowerPoint, you must cite the source. To do this, put your sentence in quotes ("") and list then list the authors last name and the page number of of the quote at the end of your sentence. Since most of resources you will be using are internet websites, if you cannot find the author of the site, the name of website will be an adaquate replacement.

    ...for example: book, newspaper, or magizine "Gene tests use a variety of techniques to examine a person's DNA. Some tests involve using probes - short strings of DNA - with base sequences complementary to those of the mutated gene" (Harrison 23).


    ...for example:Website "Genetic disorders can be passed on to family members who inherit the genetic abnormality" (genome.gov).
