Here are some further guidelines:-Depth of information is essential! To earn an A or B grade, you need to teach me something new.
-Citations must come from scientific journals or books(Ex: Scientific American, Science News, etc.). Wikipedia is specifically forbidden as a source of information. Web citations cannot come from .com or .org sources! Only .edu or .gov will be allowed. (Ex: nasa.gov or Harvard.edu) For an A-grade on the bibliography section, at least two references must be from a peer-reviewed scientific journal(Ex: Astrophysical Journal, Astronomical Journal, etc.).
-Each fact given within the text must be cited at the end of the sentence. If an entire paragraph contains information from only one source, then it should be cited at both the beginning and the end of the paragraph.
