Reflection:
Looking my peers citations, I was able to identify problems they had and other problems I have as well. In some of my citations, I didn't leave the access dates which is a necessity. I also discovered that some peers were adding the URL in the citation which is not necessary. I was able to find other students who were formatting the same way I was which helped to identify many problems. I based my citations on page 111 in the book A Students Guide To First Year Writing. Therefore, I made sure to include the author, the name of the website, the title of the article, and the company it was published by and the dates. I enjoy the citation style I chose to use because it was very straight forward and easy to understand and follow.
