17. Anecdotal Outcomes: SPC 1608 Student Comments
1. “That helped me understand a lot more.”
2. “Thank-you, ‘cause I had no idea how to do that when you told us it helped.”
3. “She spoke so well I practiced trying to say the citations like her for my speech.”
4. “Eloquent speakers in the video.”

18. Anecdotal Outcomes: SPC 1017 Student Comments
Most comments positive:
Helpful: “…before watching it, I had no idea how to incorporate the verbal citation without making seem forced.”
Helpful: “…helped me with the wording of their credentials.”
Helpful: “Yes, I found the verbal citation video helpful. I never cited sources in a speech before and so see their examples of how to fit cited sources in worked well for me.”
Helpful: “…Also, since it’s my first semester I wasn’t really sure of what exactly needed to be there and what it had to look like. In high school they show how to use citations but in a different way. So this video was a very helpful tip.”
Only two negative comments:
Not helpful: The verbal citation video was not helpful. I think it wasn’t helpful because when I watched it I was out of it and I couldn’t grasp and remember the concept.”
Not helpful: For me it was not because once I began presenting I forgot all about it and citing my sources verbally because I cited them in my PowerPoint.
