I have to write up an outline, a bibliography, and 20 note cards for my research paper in government class.

The thing is, I forget how to write a bibliography, and I don't know how to set up an outline. Someone in my class mentioned something about listing the issues and whatnot, well I forget how he told me to set it up. :(

So yeah, how do you write a bibliography and an outline?

A bibliography lists all your references and sources of information used in the paper. The bibliography is either in the order that they appear in your paper or in alphabetical order (not sure which one it is for your discipline).

Here is a link about a bibliography in the social sciences.
Bibliography 1 (http://weber.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/resources/bibliostyle.html)

You should check if the Harvard system is used for references in your class as it is popular in the social sciences, another link:

An outline is basically what you said in your OP, here is one of the links I found:

I would not normally structure an outline like that, instead I would write a paragraph that briefly describes your paper (what the question/subject is, what arguments you look at etc) but then I am from a completely different discipline.

There is also the MLA Format (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/).

This is not NS homework help. :p

Ruffy, how dare you do work?:(

I will quote this, the next time that you disagree with something I said, so that you'll look like a three-year old.
