Question

Would guys be able to help figure me figure out a citation that am having a hard time with?
Ms. Sue
Yes. What do you want to cite?
Which style are you supposed to use?
Search on google Exploring the pros and cons of online hybrid and face-to-face class formats it the first link. I am so suppose to cite MLA

Use the information here for the citation in your Works Cited list:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/

Scroll down to the section entitled "Basic Style for Citations of Electronic Sources (Including Online Databases)"

Put the elements of your webpage in the order listed there. If there are elements that your webpage doesn't have, just skip on to the next one.

I try doing that does not work.
Writeacher
You tried doing what?
I tried put the website in cited it not working am doing it wrong.
Writeacher
If you're trying to use a citation generating website for that, you're right ... it doesn't work.

So ... what is the author's or editor's name?
Writeacher
This is the webpage you're trying to cite, correct?

http://www.washington.edu/provost/files/2012/11/edtrends_Pros-Cons-ClassFormats.pdf
would be University of Washington?
yes that the website
Writeacher
University of Washington is what you'll use for the name of the publisher.

There is no author or editor named, so you skip that element.

The next element is the title of the article. What's that title?
Exploring the Pros and Cons of Online, Hybrid,and Face -to face Class Formats
Writeacher
Yes. That will be the first part of your citation.

And what punctuation do you use around that title?

quotes
Writeacher
Yes.

The next part is a little tricky. The third element is the title of the website, project or book -- and it'll be put in italics in your citation.

Use this:

<i>Leading change in public higher education: A provost report series on trends and issues facing higher education</i>
okay so what is next?
Writeacher
Put a period after that, even though it doesn't have its own punctuation at the end.

Then what's next?
Would I put Univesity of washington next.
Writeacher
Yes ... including the publishing date. Do you see it?

yes
Writeacher
So after the wording in italics, you should have this:

University of Washington, ______. (The date goes in the blank. What date will you use?)
2013
Writeacher
January 2013.
Writeacher
Next is the number of pages. This is a PDF file, so there are pages indicated when you scroll up and down the webpage.

How many total pages do you find?
six
Writeacher
Right. So after the publisher and date (and a period), you'll put this:

Six pages.
yeah
This this the right way it should look
“Exploring the Pros and Cons of Online, Hybrid,and Face-to-face Class formats.”Learning change in public higher education: A provost report series on tends and issues facing highter education. University of Washington(Jan 2013).6.Web.1 Apr.2015
Writeacher
The last three elements should be easy.

Medium of publication.
Date you accessed the material.
URL

What's the medium of publication? In other words, where did you find this? In a book or online or in a magazine or what?

The date you accessed the website.

The URL -- if you want to include it.
Writeacher
Ahhh, good!

Just put a space after the closing quotation marks and before "Jan"

And make sure you have <i>Learning ... education in italics</i>.

Double-check everything to make sure you have no spelling errors.
Writeacher
There are other places where spaces are needed ... do you see where?
I did that above can you check that for me.
Writeacher
Check for spacing.

Check the spelling of "higher"

No period after "Apr"

Now re-post the whole thing here and I'll double-check it for you.

Thanks how would I do in text citations for this?
Writeacher
For in-text citations (let's say you quote a sentence or two from page 2), it'd look like this:

... blah blah blah "yada yada yada" ("Exploring the Pros..." 2).
("The cons 3'')
Writeacher
Where did "The cons" come from?
Sorry I mess up
Like this (Exploring the Pros and Cons of Online ,Hybrid,and face-to-face Class formats 3).
Writeacher
You don't need to put the entire title in the in-text citations. Those in-text things are to be as brief as possible ... just enough to let your reader know which item in your Works Cited you quoted from. All the details go into the Works Cited.

In in-text citations, just put the bare minimum ... which is why I gave you this:

("Exploring the Pros ... " 2)

You need the quotation marks because it's the title of the article. You put the page number AFTER the quotation marks because it's not part of that title.
(“(Exploring the Pros” 3). Okay got it
Thanks for the help. How I have go work on paraphrase.
Writeacher
You're very welcome.

=)
I have another one I had hard time citation
Writeacher
OK ... put what you know in a new post, so it doesn't get all mixed up with this one. All right?
