This chapter discusses the importance of organizing your
work and taking notes. The author includes ways to organize and save your work
which consists of creating a scheme to locate your work, dating your notes, and
saving your online information into folders which are correctly labeled. To
take notes, it is important to first choose a method and use it consistently,
quote directly to ensure the information you find is valid, paraphrase the
information you find, summarize the articles you read and put them into your
own words, record your reactions and impressions, compare sources, classify sources,
and finally plan your document. This chapter thoroughly described each of these
ways to take notes and it really helped me to decide how to take notes for the research
I find for my paper. Another thing this chapter describes is how to create a
bibliography for your paper. I’m pretty familiar on how to create a
bibliography but this chapter went into depth on how to create one which was
really helpful because I might include some of those techniques in my current
research paper. A very useful chapter and I will definitely use it for my
paper.
