CMN6005 Discussion
In academic writing, it is essential to use sources that are not only relevant but also credible. To determine a source’s credibility, you should consider such inter-related factors as: the medium, the author, the publisher, the purpose, the date, citations, language, and presentation. More information can be found at the Northeastern Library.
For this discussion board, evaluate the source here and, using these factors, determine if it would be an appropriate source to cite in an assignment about plagiarism among international students. In your post, write a one-paragraph (approximately 200-word) summary of the text using APA citations as necessary. In a second paragraph, explain why this is or isn’t an appropriate source. What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses? Finally, in a third paragraph, share your personal reaction to the article. Do you agree or disagree with its claims? What have you learned about academic integrity in the United States that has surprised or challenged you?
You must integrate at least one credible outside source to support your point. The initial post of three paragraph is due Wednesday. Please respond to at least two classmates' posts no later than Friday night.
