D#6, HW#1 - Reading Reflection

The readings for this deadline connected with multiple Course Competencies, including 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. All of this reading is going to be directly useful when constructing WP#2, and WP#3. Chapter 5 of the textbook and Chapter 6 of Wadsworth were reminders and instructions to read sources rhetorically, analyzing not only content, but purpose, bias, and context as well. This is important to decide whether sources will contribute to the credibility of the paper. Chapters 44 and 45 of Wadsworth were instructions I will need to refer to when constructing my writing projects. They provide the mechanical guidelines I will use when utilizing summarizing, paraphrasing and quoting. Also, chapter 45 reminded me to watch out for unintentional plagiarism.
