Explore Your Understanding
Consider the following questions.
Before we begin, consider the following questions. Your instructor may ask you to freewrite about one or more of these questions in your learning journal.
- Why do you think the rules that we have around source use exist? Why do we cite sources?
- How does your culture handle using other people’s ideas and words? Who “owns” an idea? How do you respectfully use someone’s words?
- What questions do you have about citations?
- What does “academic integrity” mean to you?
- How have you found sources to support your research in the past?
