Thankfully we’ve been working on citations lately, because I for one will admit that I suck at them. To me they are probably one of the hardest things that go along with essays. I just have never been good at them. So I’m taking full advantage of the time we spend in class doing them, and I am making sure I understand them before moving on to something else. I wish I would have gotten the writer’s resource book though. Maybe I’ll pick it up. I’m sort of getting the hang out them now, with help. I still need to go over the criteria for the citation requirements for our paper. Like how many we need and what kind of resources we need etc. I would like to get a jump start on this since I know this will be one of my weak spots in this paper. I have used citation machine, and so far it has been to my advantage. I was able to use it for my interview as well as my internet citations. This website has helped about me A LOT!! Hopefully I’m able to continue my use of this website throughout my paper.
I would have to agree with you that citations are most difficult. Citation Machine is really good for that though. Sometimes it doesn't have the necessary criteria for a certain reference, but most of the time it does work. You may on occasion just need to be creative.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever need to borrow/share my Writer's Resource while we're in class, I would be more than happy to share with you. Anyway, keep it up and don't get discouraged. I am really looking forward to your upcoming papers and then the final essay. I am sure you will do great.
