Finding one’s academic voice is an important part of development when dedicating one’s self to earning a degree. However, it is not always easy. Sometimes we lack the confidence (self-efficacy) and think our words are not good enough. Other times, managing our time becomes difficult and taking short cuts seems like our only way out. Once this habit begins, especially if it is not caught, can have devastating results later down the road, but often our emotions allow us to rationalize the practice of taking this easy option.
There are also many temptations with the World Wide Web, including websites touting that you can buy information that cannot be traced. Be cautious. Technological advancement is making this claim false.
Find your confidence and take the high road by developing your academic voice. One of the most important aspects to this is simply giving credit to where the information was learned.
YES! You must cite, not only quotes, but also any information that would not be known, had a person not learned it from someone.
