Week 3 Overview

3. A note on citation
Our class instruction will focus mostly on MLA Citation Style. However, you may find other types of citation more useful, or you may have experience in other styles. That's fine! You are free to use APA, Chicago, or Turabian if you've been taught those styles or worked in them before.
The assignment this week for review of citation focuses on MLA, but it has the other citation styles available. Please choose the video that's appropriate for you.
