Again, each assignment must have a minimum of 3 citations and references. Use Google Scholar to find articles. Look for articles that have an abstract to answer your questions. You do not need full article access to help answer questions, rather find articles that have ABSTRACTS.

Google Scholar, also it has a copy and paste button marked with a quote sign that will speed up your references. You will have to make sure your spacing is correct though, once you copy and paste the reference from Google Scholar. Please spend time on your references and citations. DO NOT JUST COPY AND PASTE A WEB SITE LINK. Please see the files section in the class for examples and help with references and cites. References and citations support what you are saying with research and not opinion. You can use the book as one of your references. Remember citations are what is given in the body of your paper (i.e. your answers) and references are located in the back of your paper and give all the information of your citation.
