If one sentence is connected to a phrase which is not a sentence

no comma is needed, a short joining word is needed

A comma can be used before a direct quotation when

an acknowledgment phrase such as "he says" is used.

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Taking good notes and participating leads to success.

Italicize (or underline) the titles of works which are

long enough to be published in a separate edition.

This is NOT a way to correct a comma splice:

Delete the comma and add a short joining word.
