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!"
