You must have the exact webpage link for all your work – I check website links!!!)
    2.

As such, your paper will receive an automatic “F” according to Central Texas College plagiarism policies. You may use the exact words of your sources if the majority of your paper does not consist of quotes and only if you include quotation marks around your source’s words. (hint: quotes from sources are usually only used as points of emphasis or for providing specific information) .
