I learned a lot about the APA style of writing in this class this is the first time that I can remember I was asked to develop an abstract as well as an annotated bibliography. Writing a paper this long and with this much research was a bit of a challenge for me. However, I believe that moving forward in my career the tools I learned here on how to properly do research will be valuable.
From the class discussions I found out about using Grammarly. I cannot believe that is something after seven years of taking online classes I did not know about. I will defiantly continue to use that in my daily life.
Developing an outline also proved to be helpful for me in this class. With developing an outline, you can develop key talking points for your paper. Also, I found it easier to find sources after all my thoughts were laid out on paper.
The University’s plagiarism policy is very clear to understand and does not leave any room to question. The act of plagiarism I believe falls under an ethical issue. Any reasonable person could see that it is unethical to submit someone else’s work or ideas as their own. Violating this policy as a student can have that person removed from student status. For a professional person in a job setting plagiarism can lead to them being fired or facing criminal charges. “The most obvious way that a plagiarism can become a legal issue is copyright infringement” (Plagiarism 2017). Plagiarism extends far outside the class and can encompass music, and a person original idea.
