Properly cite and reference your text; however, make sure you use other Scholarly (Peer-Reviewed) Sources in each of your assignments to support your writing. Scholarly (Peer-Reviewed) Sources are typically found by conducting some research in the OU Library. PsycINFO and/or Academic Search Premier are two databases in the OU Library that can be helpful; however, many databases are available in the OU Library.
