Final touches to PI!
Tuesday, May 5, 2009 8:49 PM
Hi All,
Please spread the word around to check the class blog for the following message.
After all the effort we put in for PI, just a few finishing touches some of you may want to double check.
Footnote
It is a MUST to have (or best to have) footnotes to cite your sources. Put your sources to support your info in APA format!
Reference/ Bibliography
At the end of your entire PI, you can have a reference page to cite all your sources again. Simply copy all the sources you put in for the footnotes and put them all together in the last page. Remember! APA format!
I’ve checked with Mrs Tan, it is best if we have footnotes to cite our sources (and provide info if you need) AND repeat the sources again in the final reference page.
For all those mentioned below, double check those areas that I point out. Just some areas to note:
If I put footnote, it is most probably you don’t have footnote or your footnote has some problems, like the source not quoted in APA format or that you didn’t even put in the sources. It is good (essential) to put in sources at footnote to support what you say at the relevant point.
If you are wondering how to put in footnote. For Microsoft 2003 version, go to insert then reference then footnote. For the latest version of Microsoft, go to the reference tab and you’ll see it.
If I write reference/bibliography, check your reference page. It is most likely that you didn’t put the sources in APA format. This is just to perfect it. If you find that it is useless and waste of time, go ahead to ignore it. For those who have problem quoting sources in APA format, you can refer to
www.citationmachine.net. There are also some of us who totally left out the reference page. Do include even if you have written in the footnote.
Finally, the list.
· Huilin- Reference. Check for APA format and your word count is far too much.
· Preston- No footnotes. Your reference page is really ugly due to the rain. Please try to reprint if possible.
· Cherntze- Reference. APA format. For footnotes as well.
· Theodore- No Footnotes. Reference.
· Warren- Reference & Footnote. Check format.
· Yanjie- Format for footnote and reference
· Xinying- Footnote.
· Yap Chien- Footnote
· Guangyi- Footnote
· Charmaine- Footnote
· Pris- Reference
· Chengyi- Reference & footnote
· Jingjing- Reference
· Jia Qiang- Footnote & Reference
· Kai Ren- Reference & Footnote
· BiXuan- Footnote
· Mengfei- Reference
· Qiuhan- Reference format
· Shenyi- Just to confirm. Your footnotes quotation, is it in your reference list? If not, pls add it in as well.
· Zikeng- You have a lot of info in your footnote. Essential? Anyway, pls quote the source of your info in your footnote as well.
· Yuhan- Footnote
· Bryan- Please confirm your latest version with Mrs Tan. She is holding two copies of your PI and is assuming one of them to be your latest. Please double check to have your latest one recorded. And check your footnote. No sources quoted.
In summary, you need to have footnotes and reference page. Both in APA format! Please double check. For those who think that this is all useless, go ahead and ignore it.
Okay. So that’s about all. Please do check and do the final finishing touches. Mrs Tan wants all final copy by TOMORROW. Final deadline! Ok. Jiayou everyone for GPP as well! J Please do not be upset that I went through all your work. I just merely checked your reference and footnote and I apologize if I upset anybody going through all the work. Sorry in advance.
Final thing, for all who is submitting an edited version, we have to do everything outside class time so I need everyone’s cooperation. Please hand up only your final copy. (With regards to the draft Mrs Tan gave comments on, she wants it back too. So do bring along as well. HOWEVER, please do not staple to your final version!) And last thing, please remember to punch holes!
Thank you very much. Jiayou!
Regards,
YiLing:)
