- Follow Chicago/Turabian style of citation, with author's first name first.
- Use shortened form for subsequent notes.

- Follow US rules for quotation marks.
- Introduce quotations.
- Avoid the passive.
- Re-read Strunk and White and my style sheet (which has links to sample papers).
- Please do not refer to a college assignment as a "prompt," which is an annoying high school term.

About this Blog
During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html
