Deadline #11 HW #1 Reading Reflection

This week readings from The bedford Researcher was very insightful. When I first looked this weeks assignment I said wow 5 chapters. However after reading these chapter I was able to better understand how to write my paper. Chapter 12 was about drafting your paper. This chapter allowed me to see how and were to adjust my paper, so it flowed. I got great tips on how to start my introduction, which I was a little stumped. Chapter 13 Integrating Sources, talked about grammar, how to paraphrase, and summaries. A key point for me was how to properly edit images. An example: video, or video clips; which if you don't get the sources approvals you can make a link to your paper assuming your paper is on a computer. Chapter 14 Avoiding Plagiarism which according to this book most plagiarism is due to poor notes.(189) Number one tip I got from this book, was while you take notes attach the authors name by the entry. It also gave examples of phrases. Chapter 17 Understanding Documentation System, which breaks down the different types of styles of writing there are. In this class we were told to use MLA. MLA is mostly used for English class, among a few others. All in all these chapters were useful.
