Remember that for every statement that you make offering a claim of fact/truth that you did not witness or can present as common knowledge information NEEDS to be supported with scholarly resources.
Offering an in-text citation as part of the closing sentence of a paragraph does not cover your validation requirement  for any of the preceding sentences emanating from what you borrowed from your applied scholarly sources.
Also, as a graduate student, you need to do more than just repeat/regurgitate what your consulted source(s) may say about a particular issue.
In this course, you need to use your critical thinking skills  to evaluate, analyze, and apply the contributing knowledge your cited materials offer to your arguments and your educated conclusions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZJqzuO3I34&feature=youtu.be&themeRefresh=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjyDQdv6gSk
