When I assign the first research paper of the year, I always put the bibliography form up on the LCD so they can see what it's supposed to look like. I also attach it to their assignment, AND I put it online. So, essentially all they have to do is fill in the blanks, print it out and they're done. How many do a bib the right way? About 10 percent of them. Ah, me. BTW, if you have some time tomorrow, drop on by my place.
