chapter 7
When I was reading this chapter I was quickly realizing just how many details I was missing when it came to citing sources. I found this to be one of the most important chapters I've read thus far because of the risk that comes along with not being able to cite and quote properly and the fact that plagiarizing in college has severe consequences. This chapter also helped up clear a lot of questions I had about on how to properly summarize and paraphrase a journal or book without plagiarizing, and had very detailed tips on how to successfully do it. Many of the topics that were brought up in this chapter were rarely if ever brought up in high school and that is the main reason I found this chapter so helpful especially for writing going forward in college.
i agree that this chapter was very thorough and detailed, but i had learned most of this before. i do think that it was very useful and informative and definitely will serve as a great reference point moving forward.
ReplyDeleteI also found this chapter very inciting and helpful with all the things I didn't know about citing. It is nice to have a chapter that we can look at if we ever have questions about how to properly avoid plagiarism of any sort. Although we may not know a lot of the rules put in place by plagiarism it is nice to read articles that can lay it out in front of you to help.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I liked how much detail the book provided for citing because it is so easy miss out on little details while citing. This chapter is very helpful if you didn't get to learn much about these topics in high school. It provided a lot of detail and was very thorough.
