this woman is in college not kindergarten. Citing something means not only saying what it says but saying where in the source it is said. Far from being hyper technical, it is the actual definition of citing something. One of the major reasons this student got that poor grade was that the student didn't cite any sources. It is a major reason why she deserved the poor grade.
