Annoying Ways
When I heard we had to read another article and write about it I was not to thrilled but actually this essay really does help me when it comes to writing my research paper. I did not realize how much needs to go into citing your sources and more specifically with quotations. I definitely have been the person that would be used as an example for the common mistakes people make. From this essay I have learned valuable ways to cite a source without making my reader confused or agitated. I am glad I read this and that it has a work cited page because there is always room for more examples when it comes to that!
I also was not thrilled when I learned we had to read another article on writing, but I very much liked it. I absolutely hate any papers that involve sources just because I know that it would be such a struggle bus to keep all more sources straight, etc. This article on the other hand inspired me to do better on these papers and work harder.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at your comment saying you would likely have been the person that would be used as an example for the common mistakes people make. I can relate to this completely and was thinking the same thing throughout the article. Stedman did a great job keeping his points entertaining and easy to follow as I was thankful for considering it was another article to read. Great post!
ReplyDeleteIt's good knowing I'm not the only one not happy to do assigned readings in this class, and I agree that it was a pleasant surprise reading this article. Reading it did make me realize that I was guilty of doing a lot of those annoying things. I'm pretty sure that I did one annoying thing on the last project. Luckily, this reading came along. Now we can all avoid these mistake again. Great Post!
