REFERENCES, NOTES, BIBLIOGRAPHY
All direct quotations and indirect quotations (i. e., borrowed ideas not directly quoted) from the internet or from a text MUST be referenced. This must be done in one of two ways:
1. Number the quotations in the body of the paper and include ENDNOTES (or simply NOTES) with proper references at the end of the paper; or
2. Attach a BIBLIOGRAPHY or WORKS CITED and put the book title or authors name and page number in parentheses after the direct or indirect quotation.
If all resources consulted are referenced in ENDNOTES, no BIBLIOGRAPHY or WORKS CITED is necessary. However, if you consult sources which you did not quote directly or indirectly, a BIBLIOGRAPHY is required.
CAUTION: DO NOT EVER QUOTE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ANY AUTHOR OF ANY TEXT OR INTERNET ARTICLE WITHOUT A REFERENCE!! TO DO SO IS TO PLAGARIZE, AND PLAGARISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Reflection papers do not require either Endnotes or Bibliography.
