  1. So the blog says we are supposed to attach our notes from 10/25, but when we were taking notes in class, Mr. Kline said not to copy his notes word for word unless you can type very quickly. Well I typed his notes up, but then he gave us the handout that had his notes on it. Should I turn in the notes that I took (that are exactly what his said), or just paraphrase his before class?

    1. Why would you waste your time paraphrasing? If you were able to take the notes verbatim, that's great. If not, I'd like to see your note-taking strategy.

    2. Okay, awesome. Should I just attach your notes then? Or print the copied ones?

  2. Also, how would the three part names go?
    EX: Neal-Hurston, Zora or Hurston, Zora Neal
    EX: Cady Stanton, Elizabeth or Stanton, Elizabeth Cady

    3. Would it be "King, Martin Luther, Jr." or "King Jr., Martin Luther"?
