Research Step 6
Mining for Gold: Taking Notes (Part 2)
Once the usefulness of a source is decided upon, notes get taken.
When you take your notes, you have three goals:
Write enough information to recall the major points.
Write the information in the form you are likely using in your paper .
Copy all of the MLA bibliographic material to accurately cite it parenthetically and bibliographically.
In terms of requirements for your notes assignment (Step 5), you will need to incorporate the following:
Each set of notes must begin with the source’s bibliographic citation.
Each actual note must be followed by a parenthetical citation.
You must give 5 full sheets of paper filled with notes from 7 sources.
