Attention!
NOTE:
Sources that were published before 2002 are not
acceptable unless you are doing a
comparison/contrast of past data and present data.
Your information must be current!
Helpful Hint
Dont panic if you cannot find all of the required
information (author, title, publication).
If any part is missing, just keeping inserting your
information into the formula where appropriate.
If there is not author, just slide the title over into the
authors slot in the formula.
If there is no publication date, just put n.d. in the
appropriate slot in the formula.
Helpful Hint
Dont forget to include the date of access
for your electronic sources.
This date is important as it indicates the
date on which you captured your
information.
Helpful Hint
Have you decided to use information from the
Occupational Outlook Handbook in your essay?
Are you having trouble determining how to cite
this source on your Works Cited page?
************************************
Go to citationmachine.net and go to Online
Encyclopedia (under non-print sources).
Moving On . . .
I have my notes . . .
Now what do I do?
Organize your note cards into piles based on the
topic, or slug, lines.
Identify the ideas or topics that these piles
represent.
Begin to identify main points.
Then, identify the sub-topics that can be included
under each main point.
Develop a working outline to help you visualize your
papers map.
See the Sample Outline document as a guide.
What is next?
Identify where the information on the note cards
can be used in the outline.
I suggest that you write the outline number on
the card (I.A.1 or II.B.3, etc.)
Organize the note cards accordingly.
Begin writing your essay as you have done before.
The only concept that is different is that you are going
to incorporate the outside ideas that are provided on the
note cards.
