Citing Sources
You did your literature review. You carried out your research. You submitted your report. Your marker now fame you for plagiarising and you don't know what happened. To prevent that from happening, include in your bibliography all the references that have been cited in your text. You acknowledge other people's work and you do not get famed, win-win. Needless to say, do not copy wholesale and put down stuff that you do not understand in your report -- you'll definitely be penalised for that.
