Allie:

You need to attribute the citation from our textbook to the authors of the article. You also need to cite the title of the article. See http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ for a guide on how to cite an article found in an anthology (that's what we're talking about here).

Do you really think that two sentences are adequate to cover "the history of the World Wide Web"?

Your entire section on Text and Graphic design is extracted from an article in CIH. See my note at the head of the article itself. You need to demonstrate some kind of basic understanding of the rules of quotation, paraphrase, attribution, and citation. These are things we teach in freshman composition. Otherwise you are simply copying and pasting other people's words and ideas and asking for credit for the creation of an original article. Research is not just copy and paste.

Your entire section on advantages and disadvantages is taken word-for-word from another document. First of all, if you are going to quote, you need to clearly indicate what words you are quoting and mention the source. As it stands, this looks as if it is your work -- perhaps a summary or paraphrase in your own words of the source. But even if you do quote it accurately there is the problem of it not being your own work. Remember, your job is contribute your own article, not simply gather bits and pieces of other people's work and paste it together here.

Where is the "implications for Media Ecology" section?
