Citing Sources & Plagiarism

Your instructor will let you know which citation format to follow.  Generally it will be MLA, APA, or Chicago. 

When researching, capture citation details, author, title, and publication information.

Format your citation details following examples from a creditable source, checking the order, punctuation, capitalization, spacing, & font for in-text citations and for the Works Cited or Bibliography page.
