Note that I expect you to supply evidence of reading to supply some citation, that is, of the works you discuss. At the same time, don’t pad your essay with quotations, either. Four or five lines of verse or three or four sentences from prose in the course of a paragraph will be fine, provided they are relevant to your discussion. Those lines and/or sentences do not have to be continuous in fact, it would be better if your examples came from different places in a work.

A paper with little or no citation cannot receive a grade higher than a ‘C.’
