What can I say to my classmate who posted this below?

Question

Hello,

In Chapter 51 ; I did notice some examples of sources that needed further acknowledgment to cite and some sources that don't. One in particular that suprised me was material that you gathered or created based on your own data such as graphs or cite photos from an experiment or survey you don't need to cite due to it being your own findings the work is yours.  I was also suprised on the collaborating with others in a group it may be a school project acknowledging such collaboration in a brief informational note is a way of giving credit to the group.

In chapter 54 ; is would be considered plaigirism if you forget a citation or get the information incorrect due to the fact you aren't properly giving credit to the author of the published article where you got the information fromeven if it is within a mistake it still is a form of plaigirism . That is why it is important to gather the correct information properly and review the cited soruces before finalizing .There is away to avoid inccorect citation format as well through paraphrasing and quoting video found on the pdf of plaigrism that was demonstrated to us this section.

Hi [Classmate's Name],

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Chapters 51 and 54! I found your observations really insightful, especially about how our own data, like graphs or photos, don't require citation. It's a good reminder that our original work is valuable and unique.

I also appreciate your point about acknowledging group collaboration. It’s easy to overlook that step, but it really does enhance our integrity and gives credit where it's due.

Your mention of plagiarism really highlights the importance of accurate citations. I agree that even minor mistakes can lead to significant issues, so being diligent in our research is key. Have you found any helpful strategies for keeping track of sources during your projects?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,
