One thing that I realized that was very important was giving credit to the author or source that you are quoting from. One thing that I revised in my paper was quoting facts that were not widely known. I changed this due to reading Lunsford and Ruszkiewicz’s article. I also paraphrased more in my paper rather then directly quoting.
Lunsford and Ruszkiewicz define Academic Intergiry as “doing your homework”. If you directly cite from a source, that means that you are well educated on the topic, and it shows that you understand what others are saying about the topic. Lastly, It shows that you are thankful for those that helped with their quotes in your writing.
