about the extra credit

Hello Professor Taylor,
I am aware that you said no random websites can be used as a source for information, but could it be used for a definition in the introduction?

Many Thanks,

I can see that I miscommunicated. You CAN use websites.  This is the 21st century and it's important for you to learn to use and assess the quality of the huge amount of technical information available online, and it should probably even be your first resort to learn something, because it's so easy.  I'll be unimpressed if the only publications you cite are non-professional or descriptive rather than technical. I will be impressed, but in the wrong kind of way, if you plagiarize such publications.  And btw, you can get engineering journals and textbooks online, without paywall if you are at ASU--that is to say you can get the best quality of engineering publication online.
