1. Where does the comma and the period go in quotations?

Always go inside the closing quotation marks. If there’s parenthetical documentation,
however, the period goes after the parentheses.

“There is no research required to dictate the fact that non-athlete-students have more free
time to involve themselves in a universities’ community and meet new students every day, to
add on, being a colleges athlete is more like a job than it seems.”

2. What is the difference between summarizing and paraphrasing?

Paraphrase- includes the details of a passage in your words and syntax.
Summary- contains the points of a passage that are important to your purpose, leaving
out the other details.

Use two examples from your essay as an example.

 Most people believe that being a college athlete is easy going or just fun and
games. However, not everybody can adapt to a new environment so easily or
associate themselves with people as quick as others.

 For some students, it does come easy because they enjoy interacting with
people, but not everyone is the same, unfortunately. At times it is more difficult
for student-athletes to involve themselves in an environment full of students
since they do not know how to associate themselves outside of sports and for a
few of them it just is not their cup of tea.
