Hello again,
I just received an email from Kayla asking about sources in regards to research for out of class essay 1. Great question. My answer is: any sources that are reliable. This includes books, articles and websites on the Internet, etc.
You may certainly use Wikipedia as a starting point. I know many professors forbid students to even consult Wikipedia. I find that it can offer basic information and more importantly, give the researcher ideas and suggestions for further research locations. In other words, you can certainly consult this site, but you cannot use it as a primary source in the paper. It should not appear on your Works Cited page.
(If the information is on Wikipedia, chances are it is ALSO available elsewhere.)
As far as NUMBER of sources required, use common sense. Utilize as many sources as you find necessary to retrieve the information you need.
