Susanmarie Harrington reads the bad idea "Citing Sources is a Basic Skill Learned Early On." It's the chapter she wrote in Bad Ideas about Writing, which was edited by Cheryl E. Ball (@s2ceball) and Drew M. Loewe (@drewloewe); the podcast is produced by Kyle Stedman (@kstedman). Don't miss the joke: the author of the chapter is disagreeing with the bad idea stated in the chapter's title.

Susanmarie Harrington is professor of English and director of Writing in the Disciplines at the University of Vermont. She has taught researched writing for over twenty years, teaching at all levels from first-year students to graduate students. She has collaborated with faculty across the disciplines in workshops and teaching, and she has taught in both urban and rural institutions. Most recently, she has worked with librarians, faculty in the disciplines, and the writing center to promote attention to department-based learning outcomes for students. She has co-edited and co-authored many different types of publications, working with quantitative and qualitative methods.
