Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. -James 4:10
For the Durham students: In our Science seminar for Week 5, please be prepared to give an oral presentation on Pascal for a time frame of one and a half minutes to two minutes in length, using a couple of points you learned about Pascal. The point of this presentation is to TELL us about Pascal NOT to read your note cards(!) I did NOT mention this in our seminar. This is new information for you.

Citing work in your Bibliography when there is not an author listed from A Research Guide for Students website:
1. Standard Format for a Book:
Author. Title: Subtitle. City or Town: Publisher, Year of Publication.
If a book has no author or editor stated, begin with the title. If the city or town is not commonly known, add the abbreviation for the State or Province.
If you are citing two or more books by the same author or editor, list the name of the author or editor in the first entry only, and use three hyphens to indicate that the following entry or entries have the same name. Do not use the three hyphens if a book is by two or more authors or is edited by two or more individuals.
Example:
Business: The Ultimate Resource. Cambridge, MA: Perseus, 2002.
King, Stephen. Black House. New York: Random, 2001.

Note: It is generally not necessary to indicate volume and
issue numbers for newspapers and magazines as the publication dates and
pages make the articles easy to find. For scholarly journals, such as
those published quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, it is advisable
to indicate both volume and issue numbers when available. For a detailed
discussion on citing articles and other publications in periodicals,
please see Chapter 5.7 in MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers.

While students could read Defeating Darwinism over the summer, it would be even more important that one or both parents read it AND make notes on each chapter so that intelligent discussions with the parents and child can take place during the Spring semester. When the students read DD, they will need to read each chapter 2x in order to be fully prepared for our seminar discussions. So if students read it once now, that would save time for them when we read it together. Parents can decide whether to read DD once during the summer or wait and have their child read each chapter 2x in the Spring.
