1. These should be arranged alphabetically with a line between each reference giving:-- Author. Book. Pages read. 2. The student will need to read many more pages than she intends to write in order to get enough good material for the paper. III. The second page should contain an outline of the paper, with important points in large topics and minor points in sub-topics. A. Leave a line between each large topic. B. Have each sub-topic indented and equally distant from the margin. IV. Try to know your subject so that you will be able to express yourself with ease. A. Write a brief paragraph of introduction. B. Get your facts from books, but tell them in your own words. C. Give most space to what is most important. V. After writing your paper, add definite references in the margin to the sources from which you gained your material, giving author, title of book underlined, and pages cited. Directions for History Note-Books. I. All history students must use loose leaf note-books. II. All notes in and out of class must be taken in ink. Do not take notes with pencil and then copy--it wastes time! The book is for use. III. Outline your work. A. Put the heading of each new chapter at the top of a fresh sheet and begin each distinct subject on a new page. B. Leave a margin of an inch and a half, and indent each paragraph one inch more. C. Leave a line between each large topic and allow several lines after each subject for note-taking in the class. IV. Take most of your notes in “abstract” form. Take only important points in exact words, and then use quotation marks. A. When taking “reading notes,” put in the margin author, title of book underlined, and pages cited. B. When quoting from a compiled “source book” give the real author and work from which the extract is taken, then the “source book” and pages. C.

Proportion of time to be spent in note-taking:-- Preparatory Courses, one-third of the time. College Courses, one-half of the time.
