Summary

Questions
1.Steadman, Greene, Kantz, & Porter all care about the same things they just want everyone and anyone to be able to understand the information that they are putting out there that way there can make everyone a better writer. The only thing that I feel that Steadman talks about that not any of the other people talked about was sources.
2. In the past we were always told to use a variety of sources and that you should always cite them in a certain format. But I do not think that we ever correctly learned how to cite we learned the way that our old teachers wanted us to cite.
3. Yes my views have been changed after reading Steadman's article I now understand what wasn't explained to me in high school about how to correctly cite my sources. I use to just think that it was stupid and time consuming but its important to give the author's whom worked you used credit.
Response
I feel like I took a lot from this article now being able to correctly cite my sources in my paper will make my writing a lot easier and in turn it will look more professional. Being able to correctly site sources is an important aspect of being able to write a paper, after reading this article it will be a useful tool to look back on to make sure I do not make the same citing mistakes as I have made in the past.
