*REQUIRED*
Note: this question, like last unit’s, is mandatory, and must be completed before you can proceed with your essay draft.
From your reading, decide for yourself what Style of Documentation (MLA or APA) is most appropriate for your topic or your course of studies. In your blog, tell us which Style you will be using and why (you need to do this for week 8’s discussion question as well). Then, outline the most important elements of how to cite IN TEXT (parenthetical) citations. Be sure to answer the following questions:
How do you do it?
What information needs to be included?
How do you punctuate it (where do you place the sentence punctuation such as periods, commas etc around the parenthetical citation)?
What do you do if you don’t know the author’s name? What do you do if you don’t have page numbers?
What information do you need for online citations (in text) and where can you find it?
You’ll find lots of information in the Penguin Handbook and in the sites linked from the “overview” page in Course Content.
