Q: WHAT is a citation?
A: A description of the material (e. g., book/journal article/web site) you used in researching your case presentations.
Q: WHY cite my sources?
A: For the purpose of case presentations, the reasons for citing are:
to document (to support or back up your conclusions);
to acknowledge or give credit to other authors, and
to identify or describe the material so other students can find it quickly and easily.
