For those of you unfamiliar with the use of footnotes, please refer to the "quick guide" to The Chicago Manual of Style. Remember to use the humanities format (notes and bibliography); though for your essays, you do not need to include a bibliography as long as you cite properly in the footnotes.
Use footnotes, not endnotes. Do not use parenthetical notation. The number of the footnote comes at the end of a sentence, after all punctuation.
Remember that you must use citations even when you are paraphrasing a document. The penalty for plagiarism is severe, so if you are unclear about what requires citation, consult a style manual, the Writing Center, or me.
