• Research resources: books, magazines, and journals
• Literature review: Collect and critically analyze the literature on your topic in order to familiarize yourself with the scope of your topic as well as the key arguments, issues and questions related to your topic.
• APA style , you will cite at least three sources. Moreover, the sources should be scholarly: official websites (the architect's web site or a newspaper's web site, for example), not any architecture web site.
Dear Students: As requested, your research papers.
Students should include images of their buildings of choice at the end of the research papers. Please do not insert images within the body of the text. Also, please cite the source of your image next to the image. In addition, students should have a "Reference" page (listing written sources) after the "Images" pages.
Quotations: Please only quote as evidence. Avoid quoting simply in lieu of using your own words. If you have difficulty coming up with alternative phrasing, please e-mail me for help. Below please find examples of appropriate ways to quote:
1. A champion of modern housing, Le Corbusier argued: "Houses are machines for living in."
2. Architectural historian Dell Upton contends that Le Corbusier's claim that "[h]ouses are machines for living in" ignores critical economic and social issues.
If you alter a quote as I did above, integrating the quote into an existing sentence and, therefore, changing "Houses" to "houses," please place the letter in brackets to indicate the change.
• Also, as I've stressed in class, your research papers should be written in a formal tone. Thus, students should avoid using contractions. Instead of writing "there's," for example, write "there is."
