Our course is deliberately structured to slow you down and get you to actually think about what you're doing. I hope that this reflective and deliberate pace will help you learn. But in the meantime, here are some apparent misconceptions evidenced all too frequently in student work. You are writing it because I really, really want to know about your topic and am incapable of learning about it on my own. A single source is adequate, as long as it's a good one.
Encyclopedias are solid academic references.
Citing Webster's dictionary makes you sound educated. A search engine is all you need to find really good information. All web sites are equally great. The process of research consists of stitching together blocks of information. A single citation at the end of a paragraph is adequate acknowledgment that you got the whole thing from one of your sources.
