Hello Ian,
is it possible to overuse a source? Or may I refer to a certain text as many times as I like as long as it is relevant and my essay still uses a range of sources?

Hello Charlotte
Yes it is possible to overuse a source, especially if you are over-relying on that source to the detriment of other sources. however if you are looking at a primary source, then don’t worry too much. Does this answer your question?

Yes it does thanks, I have spent the afternoon doing some further planning and I have found some good, relevant sources I can use instead.
