You are not required to use outside sources in the Case Study Assignment, but may do so if you want. Keep in mind that you must credit any use of an outside source whether it is a direct quotation or simply the use of someone else's ideas. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism and will result in a grade of 0 on the assignment.

You should give a reference for any source you use including the course materials.

Format: You may use any standard referencing format you care to, but be sure that

(a) you are consistent in your referencing style (i.e., don't use more than one style within the same assignment)

(b) all direct or indirect references to other sources are given in such a way that it is easy for me to check the reference. This will require you to indicate the author, place of publication, date published, page number, editor (if any), etc.

Here is an example of an acceptable referencing style.

In the text: Indicate the last name of the author, the year of publication & page number. E.g.,

New York punk tended to consist of bored middle-class kids playing "music for music's sake" rather than English punk which at least at times was "a cry of social and economic despair." (Henry, 1989, 69)

In the references list at the end of the paper: List the sources referred to in your essay in alphabetical author. For each source, provide the author's last name & initial, book title, place of publication, publishing house and year of publication. E.g.,

Henry, T. Break All Rules! Punk Rock and the Making of a Style. Ann Arbor, Michigan: UMI Research Press, 1989.

This format changes somewhat if the source is a journal article or an article in an edited collection.

For a journal article: Wong, J. "The 'making' of Teenage Pregnancy." International Studies in the Philosophy of Science. Vol. 11, 1997: 273-288.

For an article in an edited collection: Hacking, I. "The Looping Effects of Human Kinds." Causal Cognition: A Multidisciplinary Approach. D. Sperber, D. Premack & A. J. Premack, eds. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1995.

(c) If you are referring to a web page, give the URL and, for your own protection, make a copy of the page or print it out. Web pages are taken down all the time, so the page may vanish between the time you look at it and the time I try to check on it. Also, be aware that there is a lot of unreliable information on the web. If in doubt, check with me.
