Research Season Begins

What time is it....Research Paper Time!!!  Here are a few helpful reminders to make your research papers the best ever:

 
  • Don't wait until the day before to seriously start working on your research paper! 
  • If you want a book another library, please let Miss Peterson know immediately and fill out the Student Material Request Form.
  • To help save the environment and save yourself some time, READ the information before you print or make copies to ensure you are getting the correct information
  • When you using the internet, make sure the sites you are using meet the CARS criteria.
C  Credible - Is the source trustworthy?  Is the source or author known or a respected source?
A  Accurate - Is the information presented on the site current and balances without prejudice?
R  Reasonable - Is the site trying to be balanced and fair to all sides?
S  Supported - Does the site provide contact information and evidence to back up their claims?
  • Plagiarizing is BAD...Citing is GOOD - According to the Webster's Student Dictionary, plagiarizing is "steal[ing] writings from another".  The Rockridge Handbook categorizes plagiarizing in terms of Academic Fraud with "academic and/or disciplinary consequences"
