Chapter 7 was very helpful because of the test detail it went into to on proper citation and avoiding mistaken plagiarism. The chapter demonstrated how to properly cite in the most popular format used for research papers; APA and MLA. Although I didn’t have much use for that section since there are various types of citation generators on the internet that put your citation in proper format, I did however find the section on integrating sources extremely helpful since it gave more insight on a sometimes confusing way of crediting your sources that I usually try to avoid using.
This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.
I totally agree that this chapter cleared up some confusing aspects of integrating sources.
ReplyDeleteI also get condused when it comes to integrating sources into my paper and liked that they provided information on that.
