SUGGESTIONS FOR DOING A LONG PAPER WELL

Search the library carefully for all books that might throw any light on your subject. Include chapter and page number.
Make a complete bibliography—keep a duplicate copy in some safe place—, it will save you time if the original is misplaced.
Have a special five-cent notebook and keep nothing in it but notes and material for this paper.
Make a rough preliminary outline before you begin extensive readings, This will enable you to classify your notes under the proper headings.
As a rule it is better to read a chapter over before beginning to take notes,
Where ever you wish to quote a source verbatim, make certain that you use quotations marks and in a footnote give title and author of book. Paper is unacceptable unless this is done.
Before beginning final draft of paper make a detailed outline and stick to it in the development of your paper.
Paper must be typed on unruled white paper. (plainly written in ink will be acceptable)
Final outline must be gone over by instructor before work on paper is started.
Paper is due on May 1st.
