MLA Citation

As discussed in class, you will need to know how to use MLA citation. Not just for this class or paper, but generally, for all English papers.
Here is a handbook:

AS A COMMENT:
1. Write the citation format for College, The Easy Way as you would cite it in a bibliography.
2. Write the citation format for In Praise of the F Word as you would cite it in a bibliography.
3. Use a quote from either article in a sentence, and use MLA in-text citation format.
YOUR COLLEGE ATTITUDES RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT, whether you are writing a paper or doing a group presentation, is due this week. If you are writing a paper, you must bring your rough draft on Monday/Tuesday, groups you will be practicing. Papers and final projects are due Wednesday/Thursday. There will be no make ups for group presentations. None. No exceptions. If your group tells me that you didn't pull your weight, you will receive an automatic F.

    It was stated that “If they’re not developing their higher order skillsit means they’re not developing the attitudes and dispositions that are needed to even understand that that’s important.”

    Sherry stated that people of all age can rise above thier problems,but they need to have a reason to do so.Young people generally don't have the maturity to value education the same way my adult students value it.But fear of failure,whether economic or academic,can motivate both.(502)
