You must have a minimum of 4 college-level resources cited in your paper and listed on your Works Cited page.
You can consult an encyclopedia but they must be in addition to the four resources.
You must cite the source of all particular information used in your paper (the Works Cited page is not sufficient). Citations must be used whether the material is quoted or paraphrased.
