Sources

All sources must be cited for each project and paper submitted for a grade. It is not acceptable to cite google.com, yahoo.com or other search engines. Instead, the instructor must be able to access the specific information used in the assignment by clicking on a link or accessing library material. The preferable citation style is MLA; however, it is acceptable to use other citation styles as well.

It is not acceptable to use Wikipedia or other reference material (dictionaries, encyclopedias) as sources for your assignments. While Wikipedia and other reference material can be consulted in order to obtain background information, they are not acceptable as sources.

The textbook can only be used above and beyond other sources. In other words, if three sources are required, the textbook can be the fourth source.
