3. When you take words and definitions directly from a source such as the Florida Statutes or the module, use quotation marks and cite the source. Do NOT simply cut and paste a chunk of information -- pull out the specific answer to the question. If you cite material word for word, put it in quotation marks and cite, and try to reword and paraphrase when appropriate.
