One piece of information I found interesting in the article “Using Sources Ethically” by Marcia Muth was about plagiarism. I was always told in school that plagiarism was bad and never tolerated. I never understood what could happen if you do take credit for someone else’s work. Marcia goes over them clearly and was something I never knew such as getting kicked from your school. “serious consequences – failing a paper, failing a course, or being
dismissed from the institution”. Something I learned after reading the chapter and want to apply to project 2 is being a credible researcher. Instead of using sources online I want to push myself to grab a physical book and cite information from there. I find this important so us students don’t get too attached to the internet.
One piece of information I found interesting in the article “Using Sources Ethically” by Marcia Muth was about looking for the Details. I found this part the most interesting because the details we use to include in our writing are what make our writing strong. The details support and strenth our claims. The author explains that using the right details is key. each detail is written and resented in a certain style. I will use this in my writing by portraying my details in a certain style that is undertale and well written.

A piece of information I found interesting was when the author talks about plagiarism. I use to think that copying and pasting someones work was viewed as wrong but thats it. But when reading the text I was able to learn that it is punishable and can go as far as getting you expelled from your school. I learned that I have to look for credible sources and not just anything that i see online. I want to be able to talk about my topic confidently and that starts with doing in depth research.
