Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. What do you want to cite?
Which style are you supposed to use?
Answered by m
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
Answered by Writeacher
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.

Answered by m
I try doing that does not work.
Answered by Writeacher
You tried doing what?
Answered by m
I tried put the website in cited it not working am doing it wrong.
Answered by 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?
Answered by Writeacher
This is the webpage you're trying to cite, correct?

http://www.washington.edu/provost/files/2012/11/edtrends_Pros-Cons-ClassFormats.pdf
Answered by m
would be University of Washington?
Answered by m
yes that the website
Answered by 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?
Answered by m
Exploring the Pros and Cons of Online, Hybrid,and Face -to face Class Formats
Answered by Writeacher
Yes. That will be the first part of your citation.

And what punctuation do you use around that title?

Answered by m
quotes
Answered by 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>
Answered by m
okay so what is next?
Answered by Writeacher
Put a period after that, even though it doesn't have its own punctuation at the end.

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

Answered by m
yes
Answered by 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?)
Answered by m
2013
Answered by Writeacher
January 2013.
Answered by 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?
Answered by m
six
Answered by Writeacher
Right. So after the publisher and date (and a period), you'll put this:

Six pages.
Answered by m
yeah
Answered by m
This this the right way it should look

Answered by 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.
Answered by 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.
Answered by Writeacher
There are other places where spaces are needed ... do you see where?
Answered by m
I did that above can you check that for me.
Answered by 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.

Answered by m
Thanks how would I do in text citations for this?
Answered by 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).
Answered by m
("The cons 3'')
Answered by Writeacher
Where did "The cons" come from?
Answered by m
Sorry I mess up
Answered by m
Like this (Exploring the Pros and Cons of Online ,Hybrid,and face-to-face Class formats 3).
Answered by 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.
Answered by m
(“(Exploring the Pros” 3). Okay got it
Answered by m
Thanks for the help. How I have go work on paraphrase.
Answered by Writeacher
You're very welcome.

=)
Answered by m
