That said, I think the post needs more support overall. Some could be outright plagiarism. For example, this sentence — “Literary criticism is how users evaluate and interpret art.” — needs support, and it should perhaps have multiple sources.

As far as plagiarism, the list of resources under “Early critics and texts” is exactly copied from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_criticism#Key_texts Wikipedia] without giving any credit to this source. On a standard paper, this would be plagiarism, plain and simple. Here, it is, too. Why would you not give credit? This is of paramount importance. Rather than a failure, this will cost a letter grade. It also makes me think more of the information int he document might be plagiarized. Are there any other sections?
