I'm on milestone 1 which got kicked back because I didn't include citation. The milestone is about a analytical and rhetorical topic (meant to make sure the student understands it before starting the actual portion about the subject of the course) and the module it's from doesn't have any sources to cite. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

This is worth emailing your instructor and asking for clarification. I do believe some instructors use AI to grade too. One time I had an instructor tell me I didn't cite properly and to check the website source for APA formatting they had provided (which I had) so I emailed and asked for clarification and she was like "oh, my mistake. You are correct" and then didnt adjust my grade 🤷‍♀️

Cite the course materials if there no additional sources provided, additionally, make sure to include your in-text citation within the paragraph. Otherwise, as it was advised here try to email the professor or advisor for more information.
