Reading Reflection

Wow. So there was a lot of reading this week! It was hard to get through, but I survived! There was a lot of useful information, so that was good. Chapter 14 on avoiding plagiarism was really beneficial. It’s a serious thing, and I know that I need to be careful to cite my sources exactly! I don’t want to get into any trouble that’s for sure. I learned the best way to avoid plagiarism is to understand it. Chapter 13 was especially helpful. It showed how to integrate sources. This is something that I often wondered about. I wasn’t always sure what to do after I paraphrased a section, but now I know! Chapter twelve talked about making drafts. One thing I need to work on with mine is having a concise opening paragraph and closing paragraph. I want to make it clear where I stand on the subject I’m addressing. So I know I can make these things better and that is what I will be working towards. The websites helped me understand more about how to work information I’ve found from my sources into my paper. As usual this week’s reading were really helpful.
