https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v After rereading how you used sources in your problem solving essay, do you think there is anything you could change? Would you say that you build off of your sources instead of just mentioning them? en-us 2021-11-15 18:10:41 UTC 2021-11-17 19:14:33 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897766343 I think I used my sources mainly to support my writing. I tried not to use quotes every other sentence, but I did try to use the information my sources gave me to better my draft and make it more understandable. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897766343 https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897766842 In my problem solving essay, we included a very long direct quote from one of our sources. Many classmates said that they found this quote to be way too long and began to just skim over it instead of reading it. I think it would be better to just paraphrase this source instead, so the readers still get the idea without the lengthy quote. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897766842 https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897769038 So far, I think I've mostly just referenced or paraphrased the information from my sources to support my writing instead of directly quoting it. This did help me to see ways to use more of my primary research information when we get it though.]]> 2021-11-17 19:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897769038 https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897770811 I feel right now the source I have incorporated work to strengthen the points of the writing and my co-ops overall ideas. We know that people don't want to read boring or unnecessary sources and so we use one's which really make us think deeper about the situation and hope using them in our essay will make the readers think the same way. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897770811 asherrin2002 https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897771117 I think this is an interesting topic that I had never really considered before this presentation. I think that a lot of essays that I peer edited had a lot of quotes that took away from the author's own voice because they were not integrated well. I think that is one reason why I tend to avoid using quotes. I think that in our paper we used a good mix of quotes and paraphrases, but still were able to keep authority in our writing.

I do incorporate them into my work but I do not use them in a way that will strengthen my paper all the time. I think this stems from the pressures put on me in high school with writing and having to meet certain requirements. We were never properly taught how to correctly use sources until now.]]> 2021-11-17 19:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897771982 https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897772651 After seeing this presentation and reading "Annoying ways people use sources, I will definitely have to rethink how I incorporate research into my paper. I have fallen victim to several of the pitfalls mentioned, especially when a source isn't integrated completely right, so it doesn't read smoothly, or create the desired effect I'm wanting from the reader. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897772651 https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897772799 I think I definitely could have elaborated on my evidence a bit more following the use of my quotes - in general, I try to avoid the overuse of quotes and rather rely on making connections in the text

Ensuring I don't fall into bad habits mentioned in the presentation, and picking meaningful, USEFUL quotes that enhance my paper and actually flow, will make my writing significantly better. There are definitely times I just use a quote at a random spot and it doesn't quite fit right and is not a effective as it could be]]> 2021-11-17 19:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tacc73/gnzhxpjid8f66l5v/wish/1897781693
