You should not express your personal opinion, but reflect the details of the readings and any Internet or library research you do. If you copy and paste from a source, you must use direct quotes; however, direct quotes should be used SPARINGLY, if at all. Paraphrase instead. Be sure to cite your sources using APA style, even when you paraphrase. Check your work closely for errors in spelling and grammar.
