In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To avoid plagiarism, use in-text citations to attribute direct quotes, paraphrased text, or references to other authors’ ideas. Usually, an in-text citation lists the source’s author and the page number you’ve referenced in parentheses. In some cases, you may have to add more detail. The aim of an in-text citation is to point the reader to the full entry on your works cited page. When they see the in-text citation (Smith 24), they’ll know to look for the full entry listed on your works cited page under the last name Smith. Place the period after the parenthetical citation instead of at the end of your text. Name the article’s author, and include the page number if it’s a printed article or a source that appears in both print and online.  If there are 2 authors, list them alphabetically, then include the page number: (Jones and Smith 252). If there are 3 or more authors, write the first author then “et al.”: (Jones, et al. 241). You only need to include the page number in parentheses if you’ve mentioned the author’s name in your text, like this:  “According to Hidalgo, a high-glycemic diet increases the risk of pancreatic disorders (12).” Skip the page number if the source doesn’t have one, such as an article on a newspaper website. If your works cited page includes multiple sources by the same author, your in-text citations need to name the specific source. For the sake of brevity, just include the first few words of the title.  For instance, abbreviate the title “Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity as Risk Factors for Pancreatic Cancer” by G. Eibl to (Eibl, “Diabetes Mellitus” 518). If you have 4 sources listed under the author Smith, the in-text citation (Smith 242) doesn’t tell the reader which of the 4 Smith entries you’ve referenced.
Summary: Make a parenthetical citation after a quote or reference. Write the author’s name and page number for printed articles. Include shortened titles if you’ve cited multiple works by 1 author.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are tons of makeup brands, and each brand has tons of different concealers. If you're looking for long-lasting concealer, look for that wording on the packaging. If you need help, look online for long-lasting concealers or ask a professional in a beauty store. Stick concealers come in swivel-up tubes – similar to lipstick. Stick concealers are best used to provide coverage for dark circles under your eyes. They are usually extremely thick concealers, so you'll only need a little bit. Although they are usually inexpensive and easy to apply, stick concealers are typically too thick and heavy to cover up breakouts. Stick concealers may clog your pores. They usually aren't a good choice if you have oily skin. This type of concealer usually comes in a squeeze tube, or a tube with a wand applicator. Many concealers on the market will come in a liquid formula, even if they dry matte. If you have acne, look for a liquid concealer that's formulated to fight acne. Cream concealers usually come in small jars or squeeze tubes and provide medium to full coverage for dark under-eye circles. Cream concealers can clog pores, so you shouldn't use them if you're prone to acne. These concealers usually come in compact cases. They are applied like a cream, but dry with a matte-powder finish. This type of concealer is good for those with oily skin, but not for those with acne or dry skin. To cover dark circles under your eyes or dark spots on your face, choose a concealer that is 1 shade lighter than your natural skin tone. If you want to cover acne, you should use a concealer that matches your natural skin tone or is slightly lighter. If you are covering your dark under-eye circles and breakouts, you should consider using 2 different types of concealer. Keep in mind that oily skin can oxidize the concealer, which can make it appear darker. If your skin is very oily, you may want to try a lighter shade of concealer.
Summary: Look for a concealer that is labeled as long-lasting. Use a stick concealer if you want to cover dark circles under your eyes. Use a liquid concealer if you have oily skin. Use cream concealer if you have dry or combination skin. Choose a matte-finish concealer if you have oily skin. Pick the right shade of concealer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have friends in your class, you may be tempted to sit next to them. However, friends can easily prove distracting. You want to resist the temptation to pass notes or whisper during class lectures and discussions. If you don't want to hurt your friend's feelings, politely let them know ahead of time you'll be sitting away from them in class. Say something like, "Hey, I know we like to all sit together, but I keep distracting myself lately. I think I'm going to try to sit on my own and see if that helps me focus." In addition to sitting away from your friends, pick a seat towards the front of the classroom. It's easier to get distracted in the back when you're struggling to see the board. Sit towards the front of the class so you will be able to focus. In addition to helping you focus, many classes grade you on in-class discussion. Whenever an opportunity comes up for discussion, always participate at least once. If you're actively engaging in a conversation, you will have to pay attention to what's happening in your classroom.  You may be nervous about participating. However, keep in mind many of your classmates are nervous as well. Chances are, what you have to say is beneficial to the classroom. Ask questions if you have them. While you may feel embarrassed asking questions, many students may have the same questions you do and are simply too shy to raise them. Throughout class, take well-organized notes. Do not just copy down what the instructor says. Make sure to write it in your own words. Phrasing lectures in a way that makes sense to you will help you better retain the information.  Make sure to date and label your notes. You should write down a header explaining what's being discussed. Use shorthand when possible so you can keep up. For example, use abbreviations and acronyms when possible. Do not write down everything. Instead, focus on information you may easily forget, such as names, dates, equations, and other hard to remember facts. Maintaining some level of eye contact with the teacher can be helpful for several reasons. You will prevent your mind from wandering, and your teacher will also see you are attentive. This can reflect highly on you when the time comes for grading. During lectures, if you're not taking notes, look to the front of the classroom. It's a small change, but can make a big difference in your level of focus. Maintain good posture throughout a lecture. Good postures helps you regulate breath better, preventing you from becoming drowsy during class.
Summary:
Sit away from friends. Try to sit in front. Participate in discussion. Take notes. Keep your eyes on the teacher. Sit up straight.
