Answer 1

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

1. a fact that most readers are likely to already know - Common knowledge does not require citation as it is widely accepted information.

2. a personal anecdote from the student’s experience - Personal experiences or anecdotes are original and do not require citation, as they are the student's own words and reflections.
