Concepts should be highlighted and cited. Also, you need to define the concept. By defining the concept, it shows me that you understand the readings/lecture.
Example: A bureaucracy is any organization that is structured hierarchically (Barbour and Wright 325, 2015).
How to cite course lecture:
Instructor's Last Name, First Name. "Title of PowerPoint Presentation." Date of PowerPoint presentation, Title of Course, Columbia College. Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.
