You will have 20 minutes to answer ten questions based on the citation of sources handout.  Be sure you do not start the quiz unless you have a printout of the citation of sources handout in your hand for reference!  I would suggest that you do not start the quiz until you closely read the citation of sources handout since questions come directly from it.  For the avoiding plagiarism quiz students will not be able to see the questions and answers until they complete the quiz with a 10 of 10 score.
