the part I hate

Citing to me used to be very easy till I learned there were different ways to cite. I grew up in school using MLA never did I hear about APA and let me tell you, its not easy to get used to! I read in my Kaplam handbook about plagiarism and what exactly it is and how you do it. I enjoyed reading and getting a better picture on it and what I need to cite when I am putting that information in my report. I feel that we need to cite our sources because they need to get that credit that they deserve. I would not like it if I found something I wrote or did someone used for one reason or another and did not give my the credit I earned. That I think would be rude and not appropriate esp. when they are using my information. In the cases that plagiarism was found out about in the real world, I think was handled right, and I also think schools handle it appropriately, if you plagiarize you should have consequences if the situation was in school I think getting kicked out would be a little harsh, maybe to get a zero and spoken to and move on would be a little better. I do think that the internet does not give at all times the right amount of credit to the right person, sometimes they don't even give the credit to the creator at times, which is wrong.
