While for some students the trustworthiness of an academic might besufficient, other students may expect you to cite your sources, especially with regards tocontentious or novel topics. This helps present the information as being more than just youropinion, assisting students with the evaluation process.Additionally, in areas of Engineering that might be more subjective (such as ethics andprofessional skills) it can be helpful to acknowledge that reasonable minds can come todifferent conclusions based on the same set of facts. Coming across diverse perspectives hasbeen shown to increase empathy and improve ethical decision making in students, as itteaches them their original perspective is not necessarily universal [27].Component 3
