All students at R. A. Long High School sign a piece of paper that indicates they have read and understand the R. A. Long High School Student Handbook. One of the first topics addressed in the handbook is the Academic Honesty Policy (pp. 8 - 9). Some things are really easy to understand--like copying someone else's homework--but many students have difficulty knowing how to cite a source they have read as part of a research paper.
If you need help with citing your source, try using the the OSLIS citation machine and talk to your favorite librarian.
