I did ask Mr. Hamon for clarification and help with this issue. He was excellent help. He clarified matters to me and I feel like a little weight is off my shoulders about citations. MLA format is a tedious job and practice makes perfect.

Post 9 - MLA Formatting
My struggle with MLA format is citations. I get mixed up about commas, periods, italics, parentheses, hanging indention's, ect. Even though we've been working with citations since class began, I still can't understand the order and have to refer back to notes constantly. Sometimes my hanging indention just looks weird. I was watching a lecture on citation format and it did not mirror the MLA citation format sheet. One used a comma and one used a period for the same space. That's confusing. It makes me second guess myself.

I have the same problem as you do. I get way too confused easily so when they want us to memorize such a complicated thing, it just messes me up a whole lot more. But people need to learn to rely on their teachers or professors more often so they can understand how to create a correct citation.
ReplyDeleteWell at least I'm not the only one. I haven't asked Dr. Hamon yet but, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and email him a question.
