MLA Handouts

MLA Stuff

Here are some helpful handouts for you to look at:

Here is a website that gives you a tutorial on finding and evaluating sources. I didn't go over this in class, but I will expect you to have valid sources: http://www.wright.edu/~martin.maner/eval01.htm


Here is a web-site from the University of Wisconsin that goes over avoiding plagiarism by properly summarizing and paraphrasing:
http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QuotingSources.html


Here is the web-site we went over about proper format from Capital Community College:

Here is the other handout we went over in class:

Finally, here is a practice test for you review:

Please, also remember that next Thursday is your day to do research and to get your writing done. I will expect fully written rough drafts on Tuesday when we do conference and peer reviews.

I will be available from noon-6 (but working my other job-- if it is not busy you can come ask me a question); otherwise, you are welcomed to come see me from 6-7, room 6337. And as also, you can e-mail me.
