Please note that you must cite one scholarly source for each section but may repeat the sources if you used them for multiple sections. You must cite three scholarly sources total and include a bibliography/works cited page. While you are only required to cite three scholarly sources, any time you use information from any source you must cite it. This includes non-scholarly sources. If you use a source but do not give the author(s) (or organization) credit, this is considered plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered a type of academic dishonesty. All colleges and universities take academic dishonesty very seriously. Most professors give automatic “F”s for plagiarism, and it can also result in other disciplinary actions. So please do yourself a favor: when it doubt, cite it! If you’re still not sure what plagiarism entails, I highly recommend visiting the following site: http://www.plagiarism.org/

If you’ve never heard of a “citation” or are still unsure about how exactly to go about citing sources, I highly recommend visiting the Writing Center or visiting the following site: http://moorparkcollege.libguides.com/c.php?g=13046… site is a reference guide for my courses. I have also written a guide on how to find scholarly sources that will be posted on Canvas.
