NOTECARDS:
NOTECARDS:
You will
be asked to take brief notes on 3 x 5 cards from some of the references
youve found. Notecards may contain 1-2 sentences, quoted or paraphrased,
or diagrams, definitions, etc.
Notecards also contain a category title, and a code system to tell which
reference and page the information was taken from. See below for a typical
notecard.
Only write notes which you feel will be usable in some way in writing
a background research paper. DONT WRITE notes if YOU do NOT understand
what they mean!!!!
Be sure to use your notecards by assigning a category title in the upper
left hand corner, then, number them from 1-100+ in the upper right hand
corner. (JUST IN CASE you drop them!!)
A typed Bibliographic Reference Sheet must accompany the notecards, in
which the numbered references match the coding system used on the notecards.
Remember: you will need a minimum of 3 previous experiments that are
similar to your project that provide information to validate your hypothesis.
Be sure your research will be of value to you and your paper!
EXAMPLE OF HOW A TYPICAL NOTECARD WILL APPEAR:
