“Both footnotes (for direct quotations and/or statistics cited) and a bibliography (listing the sources you consulted in your research) are required.”

I’m willing to delay the Cowie papers until Friday, if that’s what it takes in order to get good good re-workings of your research papers by tomorrow morning.  If you’re one of the few people who’ve sent me the Cowie paper already, thank you and sorry.  If you’d like to re-work that one more, drop me a note and get me a new version by then,

The Cowie papers are indeed due Monday.  Since I stayed up late to get your research papers back, you should also come with a second version of that draft on Monday for discussion,

…a little reminder about your papers.  This is a direct quote from the assignment sheet:

“[Y]ou must consult at least eight sources for your paper.”

That is all.
