Tutorial FAQ
What format should I be using for essay citations?
As specified on the course outline, Dr. Nelles expects you to use K. Turabian's. Information on this format is covered in great detail in her book: A Manual For Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations which is available in the library as well as online at :
Link to Turabian/Chicago Citing Guide at Mills Library
Are Online Sources acceptable as essay sources?
This is a much more complex question than can b answered here. In the second essay assignment you are asked to reference three journal articles and three entries from the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. These may be obtained online, however you have to ask yourself, are all online sources of the same veracity? The following tutorial will be of use in answering this question:
