Hi everybody,
I'm about to apply for New School for social research, and I have a doubt about my writing sample. I see that one of the most important goals of requesting a writing sample, is evaluating student's citation and referencing in that essay. When I was writing my sample two years ago, I simply used the word APA system which I thought it was closer to the way of citation that I got used to. But still some parts of it is strange for me. For example the way of citing inside the text in paratezes, it also include the full title of the book inside the essay each time! like this: the framework of his second government program. (Makki, Ketabe siah/The Black Book, 1370/1991, pp. 353-354). The Chicago system has some other problems especially in bibliography part.
Has anyone ever used word citation systems? If not, what should I do in my manual amendment of my essay. The website of the school did not write anything about the accepted system. Which system I should use and how can I find accurate and reliable information about that system?
Thanks in advance!
