Avoiding Plagiarism Week 4, Discussion 2
Identify what you think are the most difficult aspects of working with sources and making sure you do not plagiarize.
The most challenging aspect I find is knowing exactly what common knowledge is and what is not common knowledge. When I took the self-quiz, in our extra reading material this week, I failed miserable. Also, I find it difficult to know precisely how to cite certain information; even if I look it up it can still be tricky to decide which one to use.
Discuss the steps will you take to ensure that you cite your sources properly
I printed off the APA Common Citation paper that was found in the Ashford Writing Center which I have referred to numerous times. I get lucky in the Ashford Library because some of the sites will tell you how to cite the source in APA format. Also I will request my mother’s help if I am having serious trouble figuring out how to cite a specific citation.
