While going through my EE this weekend I ran into a bout of trouble. While re editing portions of the paper I found myself in need of a large revamp. In such revamp I took to redoing a few paragraphs and subsequently while before I had forgotten to cite every piece of evidence I had taken, I again started to type from memory of what all my facts were. Thus not technically getting any information from the sources directly while typing it for the second time I lack the credibility for taking the information from credible sources.
My question is when is it ethical not to cite something if you have it burned into your memory? For instance like in math class you have learned many things from textbooks and other sources but in real life you do not have to "cite" your source but you may have to back up your information somehow.
I know that this paper is on a completely different level and does not even pertain to the question at hand I just needed to type something that was not my EE, I.A., Written Task 2, or Spanish homework, so I apologize for the lacking of content in the passage. Truthfully my brain is a little fried.
