Also, isn't it cheating to ask Freepers to do your homework?

Hmm...let me think about this. I have an assignment to write a research paper on a topic relating to Social Studies educational methods - mine in particular being the use of literature in the teaching of social studies. this paper must be sourced to three scholarly or academic journals and written in a formal style. In addition, I must prepare an example of the sort of lesson which might illustrate the thesis, including providing a copy of the material I would use to teach it.

I selected Starship Troopers (though I could have as easily went with Animal Farm or Brave New World because I was very familiar with the book and the philosophy contained therein. From the selected book, I would draw an excerpt which summarized as briefly as possible, the philosophical point about government the author was trying to express. Then I would prepare a series of 3-5 short answer questions for the students to react to what they had read and be able to discuss in class a comparison and contrast between the author's thesis, and our own system.

I erred in that I had presumed too much on my ability to find the passage I was thinking of in short order and so I ask for a bit of advice into where the already selected passage was to be found so as to accurately excerpt it.

Yes.
In all the many details of this project, all the time it takes to research and write it (on my own) I debased myself to ask for some help in finding the particular chapter number for a passage I've read myself a dozen times.

I am indeed a massive fraud and an embarrassment to the human race and am henceforth unworthy of my degree and shall immediately resign and take a job picking fruit.

Are you picking up ANY sarcasam at all yet? Critics I got plenty of, bud, best you look for a job with more demand for your services, m'kay?
