Academic sources

The goal for this unit was learning more about plagiarism and how to support the arguments with evidence using APA style. The ppts and documents on blackboard helped me understand better about academic sources. We started the unit watching a video about plagiarism. This video helped a lot because it solved my doubts. According to the APA style, the hand outs were useful. In the past, I have always had trouble with appropriate citation; however, I will keep these two documents on blackboard for my personal use due to its concise information. Moreover, the exercises in class allowed me to practice harder and differentiate paraphrasing, summarizing and quoting. I found the chart below particularly interesting because it is very clear and easy to understand. Besides, we did many exercises about paraphrasing and summarizing.

During this unit we learned the process of writing a good academic paragraph. Previously, in other English courses, my teacher at that time taught to me basic rules about writing a paragraph. However, in the class I learned a lot more because the leaning process helped me remember the details. Personally, ppts and group exercises exercises were useful to practice and make it easier to understand also the teacher’s explanation, and the worksheets were helpful too. One of the exercises was about a worksheet, we had to analyze whether which of the five paragraphs were correct or not. Moreover, we did an exercise that involved analyzing another classmate's paragraph. One of the difficulties I found was to find out the acceptable paragraphs. Some of them were easy to identify, however, others seemed to be fine, but they were not. If I want to write a paragraph in order that it has unity, I will need to practice more. I truly believe I can increase my knowledge with the exerci...
