In Credit Unit 3, you will learn how to properly cite your sources, avoid intentional and unintentional plagiarism, and begin drafting your paper for review. Each Module in this Credit Unit focuses on a specific aspect of an analytical report, including creating a properly formatted bibliography, creating visual elements to present data, and writing the body of your report using the outline you constructed in the previous Credit Unit.
