Citing sources in written assignments
When you as a student work on a written homework assignment, you must draw on insight and knowledge gained from various sources. Required literature will often be a central source, but you may also use other academic literature and other types of sources, such as brochures, websites and images.
You can search for literature and other written sources in the library, in databases and on the Internet. Ask your instructor or a librarian for help in finding good sources.
The purpose of citing sources is to make clear what you have taken from sources and what are your own analyses, interpretations and conclusions.
