HOW TO CITE ON THIS EXAM
You should cite when you use class notes, class texts, or refer to allowed web sites. It is adequate to cite for example as follows: (text, p. 74), (class notes, 9/15), or (insert web site address URL here). I take off many points for no or too few citations! You do not need any sort of bibliography or works cited, as I know exactly which sources you are referring to. This simple internal citation means that I can pinpoint where you are getting your sources.

By writing “question one” out there is no way to have a numbering issue.
