Answer 1

The two types of information that do not typically require a citation are:

1. a personal anecdote from the student’s experience - Personal experiences or anecdotes do not require citations because they are original to the student and not derived from an external source.

2. a fact that most readers are likely to already know - Common knowledge (facts that are widely known and undisputed) generally does not require citation.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

• a personal anecdote from the student’s experience
• a fact that most readers are likely to already know
