research practices. This assignment will, ideally, help you approach your own

research with a greater

understanding of academic research and source use. It also helps you to learn how to read academic

articles (the kinds you will locate in your own research). Be sure to use the reading guides as you read

the articles for this assign

ment; these reading guides teach you how to break down an academic

article into sections to read, skim, and skip. Finally, this essay asks you to reference sources in your

essay that your instructor and fellow classmates know well, which means that they ca

master citation and paraphrase skills during the drafting and revision process.

Les Perelman’s “Information Illiteracy and Mass Market Writing Instruction,”

Howard et al.’s

“Writing from Sources, Writing fro

and

Chris Anson’s “Fraudulent Practices:

Academic Misrepresentations of Plagiarism In the Name of Good Pedagogy,”). We will then use

these essays as a way to reflect

on our own source use and research in college.

This assignment

then

u to argue a position on student source use in the academy using at least

two of the above readings (not counting Lang) and your own experience as a college writer. This

“position”

t need to offer a solution or take a definitive stance; it may, for e

xample, argue for

the two main challenges to students finding and using quality sources or for the central dilemma in

student plagiarism.

PROJECT II: POSITION ESSAY ON STUDENT SOURCE USE IN THE ACADEMY

Purpose:

Before we turn to the research portion of the class, we’ll read, write, and reflect on college-level

research practices. This assignment will, ideally, help you approach your own research with a greater

understanding of academic research and source use. It also helps you to learn how to read academic
