• 3 academic sources, approved by advisor

Week 12: Notecards & Sources

This is week one of four weeks of notecards and sources.  Your notecards will be essential in writing your final Capstone paper.  You need to find 3 academic sources that must be approved by your advisor.  You must also have 5 notecards that summarize information found in your sources.  One notecard is equal to approximately half of a page of hand-written material.  Your advisor should indicate on your rubric the number of good academic sources and notecards that they have seen.  This is due on Monday, December 12, 2011.

We will continue to find academic sources and write more notecards for the next four weeks.  Remember your final paper must have a minimum of twelve academic sources.

Also be sure to create a "Capstone-Final" project in Noodle Tools which you should share with Ms. Bergstrom and your advisor.
