While articles on SEP are good introductions and published by philosophers in the field, it is generally looked down upon to cite SEP. It shows a lack of dedication to go deeper into your sources. Many of the articles are only condensed versions of the author' book or published work, in which case, find the original text and what you want to cite in that. In undergraduate papers many young professors who are internet savvy will let you cite it. If you choose to do this SEP suggests the following:

Peterson's Graduate Schools Search Engine
This is a good resource for studying which graduate schools are available. Particularly because you can narrow your search by location (state) and degree level (certificate, MA, Phd) in the advanced search mode. You can also search multiple disciplines and sub-disciplines like bioethics. For someone who was in my position, being able to search for MA by state and PHD nationally would have been really useful.
UC Davis: Grad TA Handbook
The teaching handbook contains advice from philosophy graduate students about how to TA philosophy classes. It includes samples of the sorts of handouts you might want to use and other useful information. One should always save the teaching materials you develop for TA or classes taught. Many teaching colleges ask for these materials or they will ask what sort of thing you might have on a syllabus. It is important to create something like a teaching portfolio as a record for future teaching prospects later on. Also save teaching evaluations as they will be solid recommendations for teaching later on.

Review "Philosopher's Tool Kit" by Aspenson
A quick overview of "The Philosophers Tool Kit" by Steven Aspenson . This article does not address wheather or not philosophy should be understood as method, but rather if a method is assumed would this be useful to a philosopher. If not useful to a philosopher, could it be a useful teaching tool.

Save Money on Books
A good list of where to buy text books online. Although philosophy usually doesn't have the outrageous book prices of the disciplines like biology, it is always nice to save some money. Some of these would be great to suggest to incoming students without a clue.

Visual Taxonomy of Logical Fallacies
This is a beautiful hierarchy of fallacies. It's represented in a easy to follow way. I use something along these lines to analyze arguments. While I don't think this design will work for my form of analysis, I thought others might be interested. It could also be a great explanatory tool for students.

This is quite a useful tool. I have found it really handy for doing research. It indexes many important articles which are not sorted in Philosophers Index.
