Information requested

I would like to now if in the Higher history assignment, if you are meant to reference quotations used to back up evaluation, and if so where it mentions this in the Higher history course specification.

I am currently trying to find where I lost marks on my higher history assignment as my teacher informed me I did not have to reference and I couldn?t find any additional information in the course spec.
