UGS 302: Performance in Early European Literature / Thomas

NoodleTools has features that respond directly to multiple aspects of this assignment. You are being asked to focus your topic, create an annotated bibliography, create an outline and use your sources as evidence in your paper.

NoodleTools allows you to:

• Save source citations and create annotations within the tool.
• Record thoughts, questions and keywords you want to explore in notecards
• Create notecards where you can pull quotations and create paraphrases and other notes to make it easy to find your sources and to remember why you wanted to use them in the first place.
• Create outlines and drag and drop sources into it
• Create and export formatted references

Research is messy and group work takes a lot of coordination. You will need to use something like googledocs for most of your writing, but for storing and exporting citations, NoodleTools is a complementary collaborative tool.
