 The sources I used are online news articles and print articles. To cite these sources, I had t apply attribution when I take information that isnot mine. According the Professor Knapp, “Indirect quotations are not exact wordings but rather re-phrasings or summaries of another person's words. In this case, it is not necessary to use quotation marks. However, indirect quotations still require proper citations, and you will be committing plagiarism if you fail to do so.” In my paper, I used a lot of paraphrasing. When I talked with Professor Knapp, I actually learned that you need to somehow apply attribution to where you took that information from. It is really important because you don’t want to make it seem as though you are stealing somebodies information. Attribution helps the readers know where the information came from.

In all honest opinion, I believe Library 10 has not really benefitted me in the way I expected. I mean it has helped me a bit on my reviewing my knowledge, but there are much irrelevant information that Library 10 offers that has nothing to do with MLA citations. If I were to search up “how to cite in MLA” on google, I believe that would be so much more helpful. If I had no prior knowledge of MLA citations before entering English 1A, I believe I would have been fine without library 10.
