Citing Sources

Based upon your reading on plagiarism, why do you think we need to cite our sources?

Based on the reading on plagiarism, I think citing our sources gives credit to the author that wrote it. Citing the source can also give the readers a chance to further there research on the subject if they choose. Giving credit is a major part of the plagiarism policy. Taking someone else's words and not giving credit to the source is like stealing, and making it your own. As a student at Kaplan, I want to let my professor's know where my references come from, and when I base my paper on that information I want to give credit to the author when needed.
