Chicago Style Citation Troubles
I was recently reminded by a classmate that we have to cite the paper in Chicago Style. This has become a slight problem for me, as I am currently going back in my paper and reformatting. That is not a huge issue, the real problem is that this is my first time citing in this fashion. I am in the process of issuing footnotes for all of my quotes and cited sources, but am being sucked into the Purdue OWL site because I have no experience with this. I actually just stopped into the Writing Center for help with it, as I was not sure footnotes should be listed chronologically or if the multiple citations from the same source should be listed in the same clump (i.e. 1,2 not 1____3). My advice to those who have this same issue, stop into the Writing Center. I was in and out within a minute because of the helpful receptionist type workers.

Hi Richard, you may want to reach out to Dr. Cocozzelli and ask his preference because in my experience we are expected to use parenthetical citations with a corresponding bibliography rather than footnotes. I guess either is likely fine though as long as it is Chicago Style. Also, good idea about the writing center. I think a lot of us forget it is even there!
