Sample Paper: Ciations

• 18 sources are cited
• Sources that were cited are all pretty reliable. Some are personal stories where others are news, such as CNN. Example: "Anonymous. Deputy G6, MSE of the 10th Mountain Division. Personal interview. 28 June 2009" "I watch CNN, as previously noted, and the assessment there too is U.S. troop strength is still thin, even with the measures taken to supplement the forces."
• With so many citations throughout the paper it loses the readers voice. Which results in an ineffective paper.
• Signal phases are used. " In support of this analysis, Lawrence Korb, Senior Advisor to the Center for Defense Information, states that the average enlistment period is four years, and most draft proposals call for no more than a two-year enlistment (217)."
• Sources used don't help show both sides of the debate. Clearly is for one side and doesn't show the other.
• Uses similar ways to introduce quotes/ideas from outside sources, "Moreover, draft opponents contend...." "Nevertheless, these same free Americans...."
