Fifteen
note cards are required for this junior project.
Each
card is worth twenty-five points

Minimum
of one from a reputable book
Minimum
of one from a reputable journal
Minimum

Instead of
writing the note cards on 5 by 8 note cards, please write them (or type them)
on a sheet of paper. FOLLOW THE SAME
FORMAT, BUT PLACE THEM ON A SHEET OF PAPER. Please draw a box around each note card in order to
differentiate each one. (Please be aware this is unconventional and most
teachers and/or professors will insist you use index cards. Paper is just my
eccentric preference.)
You may turn in
your individual note cards as soon as you are finished with them. Please number
them sequentially and date them; this is to help me keep track of them.
