“Trigger warnings are alerts that professors are expected to issue if something in a course might cause a strong emotional response. For example, some students have called for that Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart describes racial violence and that F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Greatest Gatsby portrays misogyny and physical abuse, so that students who have been previously victimized by racism or domestic violence can choose to avoid these works, which they believe might ‘trigger’ a recurrence of past trauma” (Lukianoff and Haidt. Pg 231).
This quote above shows my ability to cite sources at the end of the quotes. My citation here was, “(Lukianoff and Haidt. Pg 231).” I always cited my sources like this when we were using essays. If we used a video I would cite it like “(Ronson. 2:31).” This was how I cited essays and videos all throughout the semester in my essays. I will continue to use this skill in my other classes this semester and in any future classes where I will have to cite my sources like this. This is an important skill I have picked up on throughout ENG-110, and it's important because I'm ethically citing my sources. This relates to learning outcome number five because it shows how I was able appropriately cite my sources throughout the semester.
