\nWhat is a good paper? A successful paper (1.) clearly and directly answers the question. (2.) It
\nsupports what it\u2019s saying with the strongest relevant evidence from the assigned text, cited in footnotes in
\nproper Chicago style. (3.) It shows you have a solid understanding of the assigned text. And (4.) it
\ncommunicates in simple, clear, proofread prose.
\nHow do I cite evidence? Please provide at least two footnotes citing, in response to the
\nprompt, what you see as the strongest evidence from the assigned text. You want important quotes or
\nparaphrases that speak directly to the paper question. No irrelevant or insignificant textual evidence,
\nplease.
\nCite evidence in footnotes (not endnotes) in proper Chicago style. Do not try to format footnotes
\nmanually. Your word-processing program can do them for you. For example, in a recent version of
\nMicrosoft Word, you choose \u201cReferences\u201d in the toolbar, then \u201cInsert Footnote\u201d with your cursor at the
\nplace in the text where you want to insert the footnote number. If you are using some other word\u0002processing application, there is usually some kind of \u201cInsert\u201d drop-down menu in the toolbar with an
\noption to choose \u201cFootnote.\u201d
\nIf you are unfamiliar with Chicago style\u2014the style historians most frequently use\u2014it\u2019s not hard
\nto learn. When citing a book for the first time, format your footnote like this. For subsequent citations, 1
\nuse a shortened form like this. (Chicago style discourages the use of Ibid.) For further questions about 2
\nChicago style, please refer to a copy of the Chicago Manual of Style. (University Library has it as an e\u0002book.) Or you can refer to the Turabian Quick Guide online, which is essentially Chicago style: https:\/\/
\nwww.chicagomanualofstyle.org\/turabian\/turabian-notes-and-bibliography-citation-quick-guide.html
\nNo \u201cworks cited\u201d section is necessary at the end of your paper. All the bibliographical
\ninformation your reader needs should already be in your footnotes <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
