I couldn't think of a clever title, and then my original post deleted itself, so...

Today we handed in (for initial approval) the term paper notecards that we have completed thus far. The number of cards completed ranged (to my knowledge) from 5 to 55, and I couldn't help but to overhear some of the suggestions that Mr. Lazarow made today:

  • Pages numbers are listed in the top-right corner of the card
  • Do NOT write too much if you are using a quote
  • Remember to cite page numbers when you are using an online source such as a periodical or journal
  • 'Link cards' may be useful, but they should not comprise more than fifteen cards or so
  • If you have twenty or more cards from a single source, it is prudent to either determine which cards are the most useful (and discard some) or reevaluate your other sources
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:
  • If you've got "it" ("it" being more than 50 notecards), flaunt "it!"
