Activity 3: Using Sources
Activity 3: “Using Sources”
Emma Ballew
Washington State University Tri-Cities

For my lesson, I did “Using Sources”.
1) The first thing I learned was the 2 different ways to use sources to argue. The first way to use a source is by agreeing with the source (Atias, Lennard, & Zuckerman, 2013). This can be done in two ways. One way is to use the research that other sources have done (Atias, Lennard, & Zuckerman, 2013). Using the research of others can help to lay a foundation for a paper’s argument. (Atias, Lennard, & Zuckerman, 2013). The other way to agree with a source is by agreeing with the overall argument of the source, and adding to the source’s argument (Atias, Lennard, & Zuckerman, 2013). This works well for cross disciplinary

    In summary, the paper by the unknown author and by Brandon Jorritsma seems similar. But, the use of sources throughout the writing and their effects is what makes the two writings different. The use of sources adds evidence and support to writing while not using sources concludes that the information present is not reliable. Reliable sources are applied by quoting and paraphrasing. Furthermore, sources have the power to enhance writing by making it more persuasive in contrast to sources not enhancing writing by making it less…

    You need to fully understand your subject matter to be able to balance between your analysis and your source materials. That is why you need to do research before you start writing. Master your topic. Then create your thesis statement. The central idea presented by your thesis statement must come from your own analysis, the source materials are used to back up and support your arguments (McLean, 2011). Hence, the source materials are the raw data and your analysis is how you process these data to come up with a useful and meaning conclusion. Create your outline; at this point, you can start balancing where you will insert ideas from your sources and ideas from your analysis. Make sure that you credit your source materials correctly. Any ideas that do not come from you must be cited to avoid plagiarism.…

    I have learned to evaluate sources for their legitimacy, relevance, and authority through the Colby-Sawyer’s library website. The library website has a tab on “Bibliographies, Citations, and Academic Honesty.” The website tab provides different kinds of information including: OWL examples of citations, how to avoid plagiarism, how to create and evaluate different sources/citations, and academic honesty. Also by doing multiple of these “how to cite correctly in MLA and APA” exercises really helped me learned different scenarios of how to properly cite an article.…

    1) What are the ethical issues in this case? There are a few ethical issues in this case, making genetically engineered food and distributing to the public without the publics knowledge is unethical. Another ethical issue is not knowing what side affects of the engineered food will do to humans in the long term. It is still not determined whether or not some of these GM foods will cause health problems in humans in the long run and should be tested like new drug have to be tested. It seems to me that the government is not as strict on GM foods like they are on new drugs being tested.…
