Is it really your work?

Chapter 18 talks about plagiarism, and what not to do. It also talks about crediting your source, and how that establishes your ethos. It states that you must completely cite your source as well as recognize plagiarism, because if you use a plagiarized source, you will be accused of plagiarism as well. I thought the part were the book talks about how they put water marks on internet sites, so not only can the see it on paper, but also if you have looked at that website. For the research paper, we must cite our sources in MLA format. I thought this chapter was interesting, because they talk about the same stuff we have had pounded into our heads since first grade, but it also talks about how to site your sources, and how to make sure you don't use a plagiarized source.
