Citing Sources?

	When you "cite" a source you are showing, within the body of your text, that you took the words or ideas from another place.
	You also are providing a way for the reader (your professor) to locate the sources you relied on in your research.
	Failure to acknowledge these sources can be considered plagiarism.
	Remember that for whatever style you chose (in consultation with your professor), pay attention to the details and be consistent. Incorrect citations are just as bad as no citations at all!
