Isn't it ex-cite-ing to be almost done with your big research paper?

Yeah, a corny pun, sorry.

Here are some links to help you navigate the complexities of citing sources in your paper. Remember that it is preferable to overcite, or even cite loosely, than to create the impression that you are taking credit for someone else's idea. We're cracking down on this, don't be caught up in the dragnet.

Also, remember that for this paper, I will accept the simpler parenthetical citation format of referring to a numbered list on your works cited page.
