Citing your sources is an essential and required step in documenting what other scholars have done and said to support your paper's argument. Citations need to be precise, consistent and with a strict attention to detail.
For your class, you are required to use Chicago Style, which uses footnotes or endnotes.
We have access to the full Chicago Manual of Style, which will show you how to build your citations.
Within the manual there is a Quick Guide with sample notes and citations.
If you have any questions about citations, please let us know!
