One Last Thing
• Write your title page on a new, blank document
• Why?
• We need to suppress the header on the first page
of a multi-page report.
• If your title page is the first page of your report,
your header will still appear on page 1
How to Cite Others Using the Turabian Style
Would You Take Candy from a
Baby?
• Use other people’s work to prove your point
• Copying is like taking candy from a baby, but…
• Copying without referencing the source is
plagiarism, which is illegal
• We have to reference our sources
• Writing that is backed up by other sources has
more credibility
• Academic standards for copyrighted material are
higher than others. Because scholars and
researchers study so many
different ideas and are responsible for sharing those
ideas with the world, they are required to satisfy
higher standards
of honesty. They must give credit not only when
quoting someone else's exact words but also for the
ideas those
words represent. As a researcher, you cannot
paraphrase what someone else says and not give
credit for it.
Referencing Styles
• We reference works using the Turabian style
• Turabian style says that we must use a
bibliography with footnotes/endnotes
Referencing Styles
• There are many different style guides
published as books for writers to use such as
Chicago, APA, MLA…
• They are all somewhat similar
• The style to use depends on which your teacher
asks you to use
