These step-by-step instructions and examples are a great starting place for many homework projects. Follow these steps to break up a big assignment into doable pieces, learn how to efficiently complete each part to get the most out of your time, and organize your work to finish everything when due.
Bibliography
A bibliography is a list of the sources you used in your research. It is usually included as a separate page or pages at the end of your assignment and titled “Bibliography,” “References,” or “Works Cited.” To make creating a bibliography easy, jot down your source information as you do research.
Assemble all your source notes into a single list, alphabetized by author’s last name. Sources that don’t have authors (encyclopedia articles, for example) should be alphabetized by title.
Go through and properly format each item in your source list according to an accepted bibliographic style.
Common Bibliographic Style
This bibliographic style follows the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 6th edition, written by Joseph Gibaldi and published in 2003 in New York by the Modern Language Association of America.
