Please note that these assignments indirectly affect the grade of the research paper. Incorporate footnotes as you write. Do not wait until the end. I am interested in fostering academic pride and integrity. Put it in your own words and credit the idea to the proper source.
Footnotes are a wonderful device.
They permit you to include important information that may not fit in the scope or argument of your paper, but which will inform the reader. Above all else never resort to plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious offense and is a violation of the Honor Code . Ideas used in your paper which are not your own must be credited to the proper sources in footnotes. Do not make slight alterations of sources which seem to remove the necessity for utilizing quotation marks and footnotes.
