Citing Your Information
When you do research for an assignment, you must cite the sources you used.
Why Cite?
- Citation is a way of giving credit to the source that created the idea you are using.
- It allows others to follow the intellectual path you took to reach your conclusions.
- If you do not cite your sources, you are PLAGIARIZING. Plagiarism is the theft of someone else's idea and is a cardinal sin of academic dishonesty.
- If you plagiarize, the best case scenario is an F for the course. The worst case scenario is expulsion.
When in doubt, CITE!
