Please follow this link for a one-page guide to how to write a successful essay. Citations of the textbook may made by indicating the page cited in brackets. If and when other sources are used, however, they should be referenced in footnotes, according to the Chicago Manual of Style.
N.B. Students in Greg Scutt's tutorial should employ MLA rather than Chicago.
It is advisable to use other primary sources where pertinent. In other words, try to have recourse to the larger original texts from which excerpts are provided in the text boxes of Sayre.
If, for example, you are working on question no. 3 from Chapter 2 (The Greek World), concerning Aristotle`s vision of the good life, you may wish to look up some of Aristotle`s writings on-line, using the title of the work given in the relevant text box as a starting point, and read a more substantial section of it--to which you can then refer in your essay.
Please make use only of primary sources; in such short essays, references to Sayre will suffice as a secondary source.
