J. Lehrhaupt - COMM110: Citing Oral Presentations

• Avoids plagiarism
• Gives credit to the author/creator
• Validates your research
• Leads listeners/readers to your great research

Citing your sources just means telling where you got particular ideas or bits of information that did not originate in your own head. Sometimes this is called giving credit, attributing, or referencing.

• When you cite sources in an oral presentation, there are 3 basic parts:

1. Orally cite sources of what you say
2. Adapt a citation format to cite the sources of what is written on your visuals
3. Have a full reference list handy for answering questions
