For the love of God, please do not plagiarize. If it's not 100% yours, either cite it or don't use it! #okie1213

Chapter 25 introduces signal verbs. These are extremely helpful in distinguishing your sources ideas from your own, and not confusing your audience.
An example would be "So-and-so asserts" instead of "she says" #okie1213

@christinajglane #okie1213 I didn't really know that it wasn't necessary to cite something like Neil Armstrong's quote. At what point does a quotation like that not require a citation?

@Josephi03992295 #okie1213 I have 11, so we are in the same boat!!

[Cassidy Broome @broome_cassidy]

It is extremely important to make your sources flow together smoothly, and make sure they all connect back to a main idea, probably your thesis statement! #okie1213

@mihrig1 #okie1213 I'm probably going with classical for this reason!

I had no idea that there were several types of argument styles, did I learn anything in highschool English? #okie1213

@CarlieVitt #okie1213 This was definitely my face evaluating some of my sources for the infographic!

I'm thinking of doing a versus infographic to compare paid maternity leave in the US to other countries and how each influences the health and benefits of the child. If that's too much info for a versus, I might do a data vis instead. #okie1213

The number one priority with an infographic is the data and information. It doesn't matter how cool it looks if you're presenting the information inaccurately! #okie1213

[Cassidy Broome @broome_cassidy]

I never realized how much color can affect the perception of something like an infographic. But, clearly one of these is WAY more visually appealing than the other. #okie1213

[Cassidy Broome @broome_cassidy]

@GHentemann #okie1213 this is exactly how I feel coming into this.

[Cassidy Broome @broome_cassidy]

In ch. 10, I learned that when it comes to infographics, you have to narrow down what is important and not important in your information. Doing infographics will help me learn to be more concise in my presentation of information, as I tend to be too wordy. #okie1213

WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF ZOTERO BEFORE #okie1213

[Cassidy Broome @broome_cassidy]

@christinajglane #okie1213 I would like to research gender discrimination and stereotypes in the workplace, or if it needs to be more specific, how that affects women's self-confidence or how it could discourage women from striving towards positions of authority. Not sure which way to go yet.

[Cassidy Broome @broome_cassidy]

@jaredca65527176 #okie1213 This is so important. That's why doing the outline for our upcoming essay really helped me sort out exactly what I want to do, put everything in order for me!

Me trying to find as much information about a source/person as possible to determine if they're credible or not #okie1213

[Cassidy Broome @broome_cassidy]

I think one of my problems with writing academically is trying to remember all of these guidelines. I feel if I'm not considering all of this, I can't have a voice in an academic space. It's hard to write confidently when you're constantly afraid to voice an opinion. #okie1213

@christinajglane So. Much. Information. Not feeling too hot. #okie1213
