Giving an individual the credit for their intellect is extremely important when it is due. Using someone’s idea or modifying the idea for self-accreditation is wrong and in some cases illegal. In any media where money is gained, giving credit is present; even in educational purposes, including scientists, students, and the law. During this assignment, I learned the importance of creating citations with annotations. Annotations created the reason for the usage of a source and it provided a synopsis of the information of the source. When the sources were used for the creation of an essay, it was a lot easier to identify what the source provided for the essay. Annotated Bibliographies are the best initiation of an essay as well. By creating the annotations, the writer can identify how to piece the information together. This process defiantly helped me start my essay on Community Problems. It is the pre-outline of an outline for the essay.
