Musts
for the Project:
á
Cite
your sources – when
you state a factor make an assertion or state something that seems like a fact,
such as ÒIn India 99% of marriages are arrangedÓ or Òmost immigrants come from
MexicoÓ– where did that information come from? Cite your source.
á
Bibliography
At the
end of the paper list the sources you relied on. You may use any format you
wish, including the one described below.
Source Materials:
Scholarly Books And Journal Articles should make up most of your references
(unless completing your own ethnographic research), although popular magazines
and the press may also be useful on occasion. Ask the librarians for
assistance.
Interview Material can prove valuable (particularly in
providing a window into cultural beliefs and values), but make sure to clearly
establish your guideÕs or intervieweeÕs ÒcredentialsÓ, academic or otherwise
– what is their basis for ÒknowingÓ what the information they are
providing. (For instance, if you are researching gags. You will get one
perspective form a gang member and another from a cop on the gang squad.)
Be cautious when
relying on Internet sources.
Many internet sources simply represent an opinion and that may what you are
looking for. So, decide what you are seeking The Chabot library is a good place
to start. Check our webpage for information.
Remember cite
your sources – In
your paper either quote, paraphrase or referring to information you have gotten
from other sources. This includes ÒfactsÓ, opinions, assertions, etc.
"So, if you are quoting this
sentence in your paper, cite this and any and all direct quotations using this
format" (Roy, 2004:12). If you are not using a direct quote, but are
instead summarizing material from a source you should still provide a source
citation in parenthesis at the end of the section in question, although you do
not need to list page numbers (Roy 2004).
Films, internet sources, and
interviewees should also cited
within your text according to the above format; if you cannot find the authorÕs
name, use the title of the source in place of the authorÕs surname.
References:
Attach a separate page to the end of
your assignment titled References Cited (list only those references actually
cited in your work). List all sources in alphabetical order, e.g.:

the format for a book – you donÕt write this)

Men. Austin: University of Texas Press.

the format for an article from a journal – you donÕt write this)
