OK! Duh.

Problematic!  You can't expect to wing it on papers and tests in college.  It is your responsibility to understand the material, not your instructors.  So if something wasn't clear to you in lecture, you can't blame your professors for not teaching it.  Instead, you need to blame yourself for not using your resources to learn it.

OK! The internet is the ultimate tool for getting information, and you will need search engines like Google to do research.  

OK!  Don't limit yourself to the internet, though.  It's important to draw from a variety of sources, including books and databases.  Sometimes, your professors may even not allow you to use the internet so that you can develop your research skills.

Problematic! Just because information comes from the internet does not mean you do not cite to it.

Problematic! The only time you don't need quotations is when you did a study yourself, which - chances are - you didn't do. Otherwise, you must always reference where your statistics come from.

Problematic! Wikipedia is a good general knowledge tool, but isn't appropriate for scholarly research.  Pages could be out of date, or information could just be inaccurate. You may, however, use Wikipedia to find other helpful sources.  In that case, cite Wikipedia and the primary source.
