Essay Ideas

I am in between a couple ideas for my essay.  I enjoy reading realistic fiction, so I was thinking I might write an informational essay on the authors Sara Gruen or Jane Austen.  On the other hand, I am really interested in John Hughes movies.  So I am going to bounce around some ideas for each paper and then decide; however, if you have some input let me know!

Citations in majors

I am a Math education major, so I do not really use citation; however, if I do it will most likely be in APA style.  
When I hear 'citation' I think about giving credit to the people who originally came up with the idea/concept.  Giving credit to those who deserve it, I believe, is necessary and if you do not then its plagiarism.  Even coping someone's homework is a form of plagiarism because the person coping is not doing the work. However, I do not feel like people should get in trouble if they accidentally plagiarism.

 

Who I am?

I am a freshman at Illinois State University.  I am double majoring in Secondary Math Ed and Physics.  The genre I fit into the most would be an educator.
