Metacognitive Analysis.

I feel it's of great relevance to have these rules for citing. We as teachers may use them regularly.

Each of our students should bear in mind that there's a correct way of citing what other person has written/said. It's just a way of recognizing what other has done and do not take credits on that. I believe citing properly is a good habit which students should practice from the very beginning. I don't think it's an habit students are used to nowadays, but anyway; it's good to get them know about it.
