Last week, I got this nice email from a writing tutor that helps out at the W.B. Goodwin Community Center. One of her students found another good resource for citing using the MLA format. More technical disciplines, such as engineering, science, and social science, use APA style citations more frequently. Because most of my readers are EMS students, I tend to emphasize APA style. But check out the link she suggests. It looks like it has a lot of useful information!
HI Kimberly,
I wanted to email you quickly to thank you for your webpage (https://sites.psu.edu/gileswriter/useful_links/). My name is Gina, and I volunteer as a tutor at my teen center. We are currently learning about plagiarism about ways to prevent it when writing papers. Your page has some great information we can share with the group. Thanks for helping!! 🙂
I also wanted to let you know about a page that my student Madelyn found about the MLA style: http://english.answers.com/essays/mla-essentials-research-paper-checklist . Can you include this in your list of resources? I’d like to show Madelyn that she is making contributions to the class, because lately she has been struggling to keep up with her work. And I thought it would be a great addition for other students to learn more about MLA citation.
If there’s any other great sites or information you think my students should know about, I’ll make sure to share it with them. Thanks again, and have a great April!
Take care,
Gina Alvarez
