Plagiarism detection software, on the other hand, teaches students that the important issue is whether or not you get caught. The point of citing sources is to show for readers the “intellectual footprints” of your thinking. We approach citation and bibliographic practices as rhetorical and critical thinking skills that are necessary to write effectively for a scholarly audience. Composition Program courses teach students how to interpret and analyze ideas from other sources and integrate those ideas into the students’ writing. We regard the teaching of writing with research, including citation practices, as a rhetorical act.
