Does this writing sample use sources correctly?

No

Explanation:

Student failed to reference the source or work he consulted in research for his write-up. The student just wrote down his own version of what he read from the sources consulted but did not cite or reference original source or original authors . Usually referencing the work adds credibility to the write up or article by letting the readers know credible sources and authors were consulted in the work

No it doesn't

Explanation: The student did a good job in not copying from the main source word for word which would have required him or her to put them in quotation marks so as to different the borrowed words from his words, but still he didn't cite the sources (author and date of publish).

So no citation was included in his write-up which will result to him been called out for plagiarism, he used the words or statements as though they were his or her own which in reality it wasn't theirs.
