  • "..Why cite sources?

  • How do I cite sources?, from plagiarism.org

If, however, you are only citing the source to make a minor point, you may consider using parenthetical references, footnotes, or endnotes.

    Note Taking

  • Note Taking Techniques, academictips.org

  • "The most comprehensive note taking systems require attention on your part. You must be alert enough in class to take legible, meaningful notes. You can't rely on "writing everything down" because a lot of information in a given lecture won't help you actually learn the material. If you have problems determining the specific relevant points in a particular class, you can always ask the professor to clarify them for you. ..
