Ch. 7 Response
Chapter 7 basically goes over the proper ways to use sources for writing assignments. It felt like more of a refresher for all the info I already know, while also helping with info I didn't know about but will be useful in the future. The parts in this chapter that are very useful for essay are the sections that answer the questions we all ask. For example, whenever a section starts with "When should I.." it immediately becomes an extremely useful sections because it tells you what situations are best to quote or paraphrase and even displays the proper way to do so. This chapter also assist in how to avoid plagiarism while quoting or paraphrasing. This section helped reiterate one of the most important rules to avoiding plagiarism, always put quotation marks when quoting the the source. The part of this chapter that I believe to be the most helpful was the MLA and APA sections. These sections go over proper citations in both forms for all mediums. This is gonna be helpful because I always forget the proper way to cite in MLA and APA. It'll definitely save me from wasting my time searching the internet for proper citations.
I agree that the MLA and APA part was very helpful. I always use websites to cite my sources too and it will definitely help to know how to properly cite my sources on my own.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the MLA and APA! At first before I read the section, I figured it was going to be like all of the MLA and APA websites that try to explain all the steps but sometimes make it too confusing. The section was really well explained and will definitely be useful.
