Cite my sources??

<p>For one of my essays about something I created, I used a lot of book references and stuff in figuring out my design.... should I put these at the bottom of my essay?</p>

<p>yes its almost mandatory</p>

<p>will it hurt me if I don't?</p>

<p>Yes, if you use actual quotes and don't mention the sources. If you use the sources in the body of the text, then you don't need to footnote....</p>

<p>ok... so if it's not in quotation marks then I'm ok?</p>
