Please note that websites are notoriously poor in terms of guaranteeing quality of information therefore I would recommend using formal academic references. You should look for additional sources that include University web pages and guides as well as academic journals and articles.
Every additional reference should add to the essay that you produce.
Please note that all assignments should be submitted by Noon on the due date (i.e., 12:00:01 will be recorded as late).
