MLA Style

APELCers, as I continue to read over your worldview papers, I’m confused, nay, stunned, and even after much haranguing, at the lack of embedded citations and Works Cited pages I’m encountering (or not encountering, rather) on these third drafts.

I’ll state again that citation of sources within your paper and a proper Works Cited page are vital to the success of this extended work. Please do not jeopardize your grades and your hard work by giving less attention to the accounting for your source material.

I direct you again to the third chapter of your Bedford text for some basic information on MLA style and citing sources. You’ll find no finer online resource, though, with more examples than the MLA Formatting and Style Guide at Purdue’s Online Writing Lab.

Please use these resources. Please attend these style and citing details rigorously.
