We think it is important to let you know where we are getting our information. Not only because we want to avoid plagiarism, but also because we want you to engage in this discussion with us and be able to form your own opinions. It is essential that you know we are not making anything up and that our information is reliable and valid. Any thoughts that are not our own will be linked directly to the source or footnoted at the bottom of the post if it is not accessible online.
I’m sure you are all familiar with MLA formatting from your many papers and assignments from school. This will be a component on the blog but we are aiming to hyperlink as much as possible to make it easier for you. For those of you that are unfamiliar with hyperlinks, it is an efficient way to connect you to our sources. The hyperlinks are the highlighted words that, when clicked, will direct you to the source. We know citations can sometimes be distracting when reading, so we are going to simplify them to make our posts more fluent.
