Citing your Sources

It is important in writing assignments and other projects that you distinguish between your own thoughts and those of others you read or researched in writing the work. Your teachers will require a "works cited" page of some kind as well as citations in the text to indicate where you got an idea or facts. You have to give credit to the person who said it first. In the writing support links on this site you can find some great sources to help you determine the correct way to indicate what that person said. If you can't quite figure it out on your own, call the Library or the Academic Service Center. Someone will be glad to help you get it right!
