Here is a basic Style Guide and general Grading Criteria. The library has information on various citation styles here.
UCF has a module on Avoiding Plagiarism which can be accessed through here. I strongly advise you to review it and take the quiz, and see me with any questions.
(Note: the module uses MLA (parenthetical) style citations.)
There is also a module on evaluating websites. If you plan on using the web, review this module to avoid potential problems with usage and citation
(as well as the pitfall of using a middle school student's website as a source for a college term paper!).
