PHIL 110: Introduction to Philosophy (Zwart)

Start with the sources that are already provided for your philosopher in Blackboard in the tab titled "Research Project."  There will be one primary source and two secondary sources for each philosopher.  Then move on to Step 2 below.

Watch the short (less than 3 minutes!) video above, and then search for your philosopher in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy using the link below.  Here's a link to a larger version of the video without captions.

Watch the short (less than 4 minutes!) video above, and then search for your philosopher in the database using the link below.  Here is a link to a larger version of the video without captions.

This step is optional, if you haven't found enough sources in the previous steps.

Look over the reference list (or works cited list, or bibliography) from a source that you already have, and find additional books or articles that look like they might be useful. Using the skills we learned in class, track down the full text of those sources. The video below recaps what we talked about in class.

Use the information in the MLA tab on this page to help you format a correct MLA citation for your annotated bibliography.  Ask a librarian for help if you're not sure how to make a citation for the sources that you've found!
