Importance Of APA Formatting

Decent Essays
I think the main importance to learn and utilize APA formatting and in-text citation is to credit others work. Authors, writers, and journalist I believe should always receive credit for what they publish. Properly writing papers and crediting others should be one of the most important procedures to take when writing a proper paper. Bethel University is teaching all their students that you should always credit your work and never take credit for something that you didn't personally publish and or write. As a Bethel student, you will get the hang of always citing your work and writing references. This teaching of always citing your work will not only make your writing easier but, also avoid failing due to plagiarism.

I agree Bethel teaching

    All information required a certain "price of acquisition" for the person expressing an idea, article, book, video, song, program, etc. As I research, I often remind myself that the "price of acquisition" in the original work of others might have been paid in research, education, skill development, interviews, relationships or a myriad of other disciplines. One of the first ways I insulate my own writing from plagiarism is to remember that I am paying my own "price" to create this intellectual property. I owe it to each individual who is informing/influencing my writing (through my research of their work) to honor their hard work in the form of citation.…

(272). When critical readers come across an argument that has been plagiarized, it makes it very obvious for them the unreliability of both the argument and, more importantly, the author. The author can no more be a convincing or reliable narrator, but instead, his argument unacceptable. Knowing about plagiarism helps critical readers and thinkers in understanding what arguments are completely unacceptable in reliability, no matter how accurate the supporting evidences might be.…
