“Proper Use of Citations: A Guide to Incorporating Evidence in Academic Writing”

Whenever you use evidence from a source, you must cite that source with a footnote.[1] “Evidence” means a fact, an idea, or an argument that is not your original creation and is not common knowledge. (In this class, you can assume that facts I tell you in lecture are common knowledge.) If you use the same words as your original source, you must put these in “quotation marks.” In each footnote, give the source and page number. For this assignment, it is sufficient to say “Chambers, 4.” For Arendt, use paragraph numbers rather than page numbers. Orwell is 9 pages long, and you will need to number the pages yourself.
