Logic of organization Grammar and mechanics Proper citation All papers must include a Works Cited, even if you just use the assigned readings and lectures. If you quote or paraphrase, be sure to cite page numbers. A majority of your citations should be from primary sources. A note on the Internet: use with caution. There are a number of good sources on the internet, like the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and other sites based off of university departments. Do not use other, less reliable sources, like (of course) Wikipedia, blogs, and other sources which cannot be authenticated. There is a good possibility that the information they provide is incorrect. Cite everything you use
