Blog Post 9

I've never really brought up my problem with citation via blogger so I guess I'll make this post about it. I took some accelerated courses in high school to cover my English 101 class when I became a Freshman in college, but I lost my grade in the course due to bad citation on my research projects. It took me a while to get used to MLA format and the certain citation process that went along with it and I believe this was the main cause to why my papers received poor grading.

I feel like citation is completely necessary, but the very importance of it at the same time is a little pestering. I agree using someones words without proper acknowledgement towards them is unfair, but shouldn't you appreciate the face that someone else wants to quote your writing? Oh well, the rules are the rules and I abide by them. I feel like now that I've had some experience working with it I'll do really well this time in my research project.
