Citing Sources-MLA Style

How can you ensure you don't plagiarize?

• Quote or paraphrase all the words & ideas you use.
• Include an in-text citation for each source used.
• Include all sources in the Works Cited doc
• All of the above.

Which is an appropriate use of a source?

• According to studies, 30% of people are happy.
• I read that 30% of people are happy.
• According to studies, 30% of people are happy (Rich).
• All of the above.

Create an in-text citation: authors Jim Stewart & John Deer, page 44.

• (Deer & Stewart, 44)
• (Stewart et al. 44)
• (Steward and Deer, 44)
• (Stewart and Deer 44)

Most Works Cited entries start like this:

• Johnson, Ben.

• Ben. Johnson.

• Johnson, Ben,

• Ben Johnson.

If I paraphrase instead of quote, I do not need to cite the source.

• True
• False

How does the in-text citation match the Works Cited (WC) entry?

• In-text citation needs the first word of the Works Cited
• Any word of the in-text citation matches the WC
• The author is always in both in-text citation and WC
• I don't need a Works Cited if I have in-text citations.

Where can I get help with citation?
