Religion
and Ethnicity| Assignment |
At this
point in your research, you should have made significant progress on
refining your topic by identifying,
collecting, and evaluating the
sources on which your paper will be based. Compile a bibliography of your research sources, listing only those items you have read or reviewed personally. Your bibliography should include at least six sources, all of them written by qualified authors and published by reputable presses/websites, including at least three printed books and/or journal articles. Bear in mind the general guidelines explained on the research project assignment page as well as the methodology and significance you identified in your research abstract. Update your project title if necessary, with capitalization that follows academic conventions: in general, capitalize the first word of the title (and subtitle, if applicable) as well as all subsequent words except articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. Use a word processor to draft your bibliography, with single-spaced citations in Chicago/Turabian style and an extra paragraph break between paragraphs (like the layout of this webpage). Be sure to save a copy for your own records. |
