APUS plagiarism policy

After you have read the APUS plagiarism policy, viewed the library welcome slide show, and taken the tutorial, think of a topic that you would like to write about for

Essay 2, which is your first sourced essay in the class where you will need cited references.

Remember, Essay 1 is a personal narrative, and you do not need references for that essay; you are the reference! Pick a topic that you would like to know more about,

such as how to go about doing something or something that interests you.

Use the example in the Lesson as a guide, and then try to answer these questions:

1.Why did you pick this topic?
2.What do I already know about it?
3.What is my goal in acquiring new information through my research?
4.What information will I want to share with my reader?
After you post your topic and answer these questions, read your classmates’ posts and respond to them with your questions about their topic. This will help them to

find new research directions as they begin to look for information in the online databases next week.
