Citing the sources you use when writing any paper is all about giving credit where credit is due. Using the words and ideas of other people without giving them credit is plagiarism and is considered academic misconduct. Students who are caught plagiarizing will face serious disciplinary consequences.
Learning to cite your sources isn't just about avoiding consequences, it's about developing academic integrity, a quality that will benefit you in every aspect of your education.
