How do you use footnotes?

This Chapter deals only with simple and common examples on how to write Footnote and Endnote citations. To view examples, see Chapter 8. First Footnotes and Endnotes - Examples in MLA Style as well as Footnotes - Sample Page and Endnotes - Sample Page. \n\nFootnotes and Endnotes are used to give credit to sources of any material borrowed, summarized or paraphrased. They are intended to refer readers to the exact pages of the works listed in the Works Cited, References, or Bibliography section. \n\nThe main difference between Footnotes and Endnotes is that Footnotes are placed numerically at the foot of the very same page where direct references are made, while Endnotes are placed numerically at the end of the essay on a separate page entitled Endnotes or Notes.\n\nIf you are still using a typewriter, a superscript number is typed half a space above the line after the last word of the citation, e.g., "The Information Superhighway is giving way to a Commercial Superhighway."1 If you are using a word processor, you can access the superscript function. To type a Footnote citation, the same superscript number is put at the beginning of the Footnote at the bottom of the same page where the citation occurs. \n\nWhen mentioning a work for the first time, a full and complete Footnote or Endnote entry must be made.\n\nNOTE: Only one sentence is used in a Footnote or Endnote citation, i.e., only one period or full stop is used at the end of any Footnote or Endnote citation. In a Bibliography, each citation consists of a minimum of three statements or sentences, hence each entry requires a minimum of three periods, e.g., a period after the author statement, a period after the title statement, and a period after the publication statement (publication/publisher/publication date).

Highlight and copy your notes then open a new MS Word document and paste them into that then save and print. \nThat should do the trick :)

If the lecture notes have been published you may cite them in the usual way eg Author, Date, Title, Journal, Publisher, page(s). The title would probably indicate that it was a lecture\nYou must of course restrict your quotation to a significant phrase or sentence or two and not quote whole chunks of the lecture.\nIf the notes have not been published I suggest you obtain permission from the lecturer and give details of when and where they were made. This would not count as one of your references as other people could not look up the source the themselves.

Take notes, and review them as soon as possible then rewrite them in a different note book, each time you add new notes to the new notebook review the notes from the previous days, it only takes a minute to review and the time you spend rewriting your notes show where you may be confused. this method works great. I am a 4.0 student and this is my main study habit that helps the most!

Taking notes in class\n1. Sit close to the front of the class to minimize distractions.\n2. Be prepared to keep your notes neat and organized. Use a separate spiral-bound notebook for each subject, or use dividers in your loose-leaf notebook to make separate sections for each subject.\n3. Begin each note taking session at the top of a fresh page. Start by writing down the date.\n4. Do not try to write down everything the teacher says, but do try to record as many facts and ideas as you can. Mark important facts or main ideas with an asterisk or star or underline them.\n5. Use short sentences and phrases and easily remembered abbreviations and symbols. Some commonly used abbreviations and symbols are:\ncf (compare)\nie (that is)\neg (for example)\nw/ (with)\nw/o (without)\n&, + (and)\n= (equals, is)\n6. Write clearly, and leave lots of blank space in the left margin or between ideas in case you need to add information later.\n7. Read over your notes as soon as you can after class. If there is anything you don't understand, ask the teacher at the next class.\n\nTaking notes from textbooks\n1. Organize your paper the same as for class notes.\n2. Put the date at the top of the page.\n3. Write down the name of the book and the chapter or section you will be taking notes from.\n4. Leave space in the left margin or between ideas for your own comments or questions.\n5. Keep textbook notes separate from class notes. Use a separate notebook or a separate section in your loose-leaf notebook.\n6. Get a general idea of what the reading is about.\n7. Read the introduction, headings and subheadings, and any paragraphs that summarize the content.\n8. Look at any illustrations or graphs and charts and read the captions.\n9. Go back and read the chapter or section carefully. Look for the main ideas.\n10. Try not to copy information directly from the textbook into your notes. Instead, summarize the information in your own words. This will help you to concentrate and learn.\n11. If you do copy directly from the textbook, use quotation marks to indicate that it is a direct quotation. Take care to copy the quotation exactly.\n12. Summarize the main ideas at the end of your notes and circle them.\n\n______________________

well, if you changed it you should probably just add your reference in as a footnote or in your bibliography.

Op cit is used in footnotes or end notes, not in a bibliography. Here are the definitions:\nIBID \nshort for the Latin "Ibidem", meaning "The same". \nRefers to the same author and source (e.g. book, journal) as the immediately preceding reference. \nOP CIT \nShort for the latin "opus citatum", meaning "the work cited". \nUsed in footnotes to refer the reader to an earlier citation.\n(ibid refers readers to the immediately preceding citation.) \n\nEXAMPLES \n  4. R. Poirer, "Learning physics," (Academic, New York, 1993), p. 4.\n  5. Ibid, p. 9.\n  6. T. Eliot, "Astrophysics," (Springer, Berlin, 1989), p. 141.\n  7. R. Builder J Phys Chem 20(3) 1654-57 1991.\n  8. Eliot, op. cit., p.148.\n\nIf you see Ibid \nlook at the reference right before it to identify the source. \nFor No. 5, the source is listed in No 4. (Poirer, "Learning Physics") \nIf you see op. cit. \nlook at the ALL of the previous footnotes to find the author. The source you want is listed there. \nFor No. 8 we see that No. 6 is by Eliot so the source is "Astrophysics" \n\nhttp://www.sas.upenn.edu/chem/library/infoclass/ibid.html\n\ns

If you mean when you use it, the answer is you usually write an asterisk next to a word you want to make a remark about. And then you write that remark as a footnote, at the end of the page.\n\nIf you mean to know what an asterisk is, the previous posters got it all right.

from what ive used and learned at school, end notes are often a way to cite material and make certain distinctions you dont have time to delve into in your paper itself. Typically you are putting bibliographical information, depending on the citation system you are using, along with the occasion elaboration on material if you desire to. The end notes work as you would think, you put them after the end of your paper as sort of Works Cited pages. If you know what footnotes are, its that but instead of the bottom of the page they are placed at the end.\n\ndrawback of endnotes, you always have to flip back and forth to view the citations, not always an efficent way to study a material.
