I think I have made some good progress over the course of this semester around using the correct MLA format. First, in my first two papers, I did not organize the “works cited” correctly. In my first paper, I used bullets, and in another, it was out of alphabetical order. I did both of these correctly in my last paper. Second, I learned how to cite quotes well. Specifically, in my first paper, I wanted to cite David Burns who is quoted in Lukianoff and Haidt’s “The Coddling.” At first, I thought signal phrasing was the way to do it: “David Burns (cited in “The Coddling”).” But then Cripps told me that citing “(qtd in Lukianoff and Haidt para. 25)” was the best. Lastly, I believe I became much better at signal phrasing. In my first paper, I did not introduce the authors I was using in a way that assumed the reader knew nothing. In my last paper, I did a much better job in presenting the authors and correctly signaling the usage of a quote.
