Some teachers notice if you only cite sources on the Wikipedia page, too. More likely if the whole class is writing on the same topic.

The work-around is to write it from Wikipedia, but find sources by searching on Google Books. Being able to read a couple pages around each part you’re citing is enough, so their page allowance for restricted works is usually plenty.

Hit your citation count and real-book-source requirement (if they still do that second one) without leaving your chair. Barely more work than writing from Wikipedia and not covering your tracks.
