  1. Academic integrity requires you to give credit for any material that is not your own thinking and analysis. If you are not using information that is considered common knowledge by most judges, either don’t use that material or acknowledge the source. Judges understand that in an impromptu speech you will likely have less precise citations than in other speeches. For example, often an author’s name is appropriate.
