Brundage in chapter five goes over how to write a Historiography paper and gives examples. He points out to look at titles to help you find information about your topic. He then shows you how to transition your paper from author to author and other topics of interest. Brundage also talks about end notes and footnotes. As he stated in the chapter, endnotes appear at the end of your paper and foot notes appear at the bottom of each page. They both serve the same purpose, but if you have a professor who prefers endnotes to footnotes or vice versa, they would tell you. I often wonder which is better? Does one or the other really matter because they serve the same purpose?
In response to Brundage's take on note taking, I feel that both are really good strategies and work for students. But I often feel that note taking on index cards or paper works better because I often have trouble finding what I have typed or sometimes forgot to save my work. So I feel that note taking on index cards work better, but I see how both strategies benefit students. Some questions I have is what other students feel about note taking? and what ways do professors suggest?
