Getting Started
This guide is intended to help you finish out the semester (and your big assignments) strong & is here as a resource for you! You will find tips on keyword development and some exercises that you might benefit from before diving in to your research. Once you get started, you can search for Books and Articles in their respective tabs or learn more about board game design and development before you finish things up. The last tab has contact information for your librarian who is available for research consultations to help with any challenges you face, as well as other resources available online and in the GAC.
Final Assignment
Your final project for MUS 114 will be due the week before finals begin.

2. You will create a game to play in class that covers a minimum of 10 points related to your topic area.
Here is a link that explains how you might create a game: How to Make an Awesome Board Game!
3. You will submit your preliminary game idea in Nov. along with 5 or more sources for your assigned topic (3 of which need to be peer reviewed sources)

5. You will be prepared to share your game in class at the end of the semester.
Manage & Organize
ProQuest RefWorks is a citation management tool. It helps you keep track of all your sources. There are many different ones out there, but RefWorks is the only one supported by SU Libraries.
