As you go along in a course use a reference manager to keep a record of all the things you read or any recommended reading. When writing an essay never copy what the text has said because then you are not making your own judgement instead criticise what it says e.g. this text (citation) ascertains this point despite JUDGEMENT. That way you won't be copying, also always do your bibliography as you write because its better to be using fewer references but no plagiarism than the other way around.

It's difficult to say, I doubt you'd be kicked out as you're a first year. But not citing properly is a huge issue and is a form of plagiarism. I recommend talking to your personal tutor or lecturer for this module to ask for their advice. In future please please please make it a priority to fully cite and reference your work.
