The fact that I had to cite sources in a paper, even though the teacher expressly told us which source to use for each part, and that we were not to use anything else. It seems rediculous to cite the charts, when the teacher told everyone where to get them. Sure, you can't have students passing off others work as their own, but you'd think that having all of the students use one source would negate the need to site every flippin' chart. In the writting, I can understand, but the charts that the teacher says to copy verbatum from the site is insane. Goodness, don't you think you might notice a difference if someone had a different source. For example, if everyone was saying that a nation had a unemployment rate of 5.2%, and one paper says that the same nation's rate for the same year is 3.8%, then penalize that person for not following directions.
