Referencing has currently become my number one frustration in an English class. Don't get me wrong-I know that someone else's information needs to be cited and I know how to do it. The issue is that the instructor is deducting my points because I don't use references in every assignment. However, in my opinion some assignments simply don't create the incentive to use information from other sources. Also, most of the assignments don't explicitly say that we have to refer to someone else's information. Some of them do, which is when I use references, and I also use references whenever I feel like I need to. Each time I ask/research whether referencing someone else's ideas is a must, I only find information regarding academic integrity and plagiarism. If I am asked to reference some information only for the sake of referencing information, it pretty much goes against the principles of critical thinking and I have no choice but to question the intelligence of the instructor or those who created the syllabus/curriculum. It just seems wrong having to find information I could include just to get a better grade.
