Chapter Six is about how to organize information you collect regardless of the medium. It explains how and why you should take notes and how and why you should save the sources themselves. From copy and paste to printing things out and downloading to placing things in files the first part of this chapter explores the computer and book part of sources. The second part explains how to take accurate notes that are easier to use and keep track of. This includes highlighting, keeping notes in one book, voice recording, etc.
This all pertains to our class because as we do continuous research it becomes very easy to mixed up sources, lose sources, and can't read notes. This chapter shows us how to start organizing our sources.
Chapter Seven shows writers how to write without plagiarism. It explains what kind of plagiarism is out there and the forms it can take place in. It also explain how to avoid any of these forms with correct citations, accurate and neat notes, and keeping your ideas separate from others by taking inventory.
This is extremely useful to our class because as we write our papers and spend hours on top of hours researching, it is easy to get ideas and citations mixed up. By following the step is the book, this can be avoided. It just takes careful planning and explaining within the realms of the paper.
