Question

1-2 paragraphs Details: Juan was working in his small group with Sandra. Everyone was submitting his/her individual portion for eventual consolidation into the final deliverable for the project. Contention soon developed when one of the students, Michael, had cited a source with which Juan did not feel comfortable. "A lot of your work, Michael," Juan rationalized, "seems to come from only one source—a vendor called Computer Resource Solutions or CRS." "Yeah," Michael shot back. "What of it?" "Well, not only are you saying exactly what CRS says on its website. Aren't you just repeating what the company is saying? CRS is a commercial reseller of products, so what the company says has an intrinsic bias. The company is not objective in its opinion and is trying to sell you something on this website." Sandra could tell even across the chat that Michael's patience was wearing thin, so she interjected. "Juan is right, Michael. I think you have two citation problems here. One problem is called plagiarism. The other problem is a problem of authority." "Look," Michael exclaimed, in bold capitalized letters in the chat. "I cited my sources just fine, didn't I?"

Info Request

-Could you explain your situation a little more?

I know you say "already tried, don't understand computers" but the problem here is not an understanding of computers as much as it is an understanding of company bias and, for the group project, pliagarism instead of thinking.

Explain the problem of plagiarism and authority as it relates to citation. Do you also see a problem here? Why are vendors a problematic source for academic papers? Why are open-contributed websites like Wikipedia a questionable authority?

Halfway through Juan's program, he took an HTML design course. Within the course, he learned how to design and develop his own web pages.

Juan's company managed to maintain its own web server and Juan had a good personal relationship with the system administrator, Jack. Jack created a space on the company's web server that Juan could privately upload pages that he created, regardless of whether or not he was in the office or at home.

Juan's lack of technical expertise persuaded him to seek web page development solutions that did not involve learning the hypertext markup language (HTML). He eventually approached Jack for some assistance. Jack suggested that Juan use his newly refined Internet searching skills to research web page development application software. Jack explained that several companies now sell this type of software and market it to both novice and experienced users. Juan agreed with Jack’s idea and accessed the CTU Library to begin his research. 1 to 2 paragraphs plz in apa format with references. need by tomorrow plz/.
