Journal - Most students view citing work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?

When it comes to citing work, I think it's only necessary when you take exact words or sentences from a website. Although teachers think citing work is very important, even if you only use a few words or even if you got some ideas from a website, I only think its important to cite the website if you took exact words from it. Also, when citing, I think its necessary to only copy and paste the website that you used. The important of citing work is so that the person writing the paper, isn't getting all the credit for all the things they said in a paper. Citing work proves that the writer used someone else's words or ideas to put into their paper.
