Whenever one has to write a paper of
any type, it is important to properly document where you found your
information. The following references present many different ways of
citing your references.
In addition this page points to useful references for assisting in
the process of writing, including grammar and style guides for those
times when one just isn't quite sure if they are splitting the
infinitive. These sites range from the ever popular White and
Strunk's Elements of Style to a more modern guide to writing
published by NASA.
Finally, there are several sites listed that are themselves good
"meta-sites" for information about writing and documenting in one's
work. Take a few minutes and familiarize yourself with what other
universities are requiring of their students.
Warning!
One would hope it goes
without saying, but all work must be your own. We do not expect every
document to be 100% original work. All we ask is that other's words
are appropriately cited. The following site provides some common
sense guidance in writing without plagiarism.
