Abstract Topics

HI GUYS,

I have been checking the Abstract Topics and I want address a couple of things that I keep seeing. I wanted to give you the graded assignment before the next one, but life had other ideas. 

The MLA citation should look like the following:

Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). Name of Site. Version number, Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of resource creation (if available), URL, DOI or permalink. Date of access (if applicable).

Example:

Felluga, Dino. Guide to Literary and Critical Theory. Purdue U, 28 Nov. 2003,
              www.cla.purdue.edu/english/theory/. Accessed 10 May 2006.

In MLA if there is more than one line in the citation all the subsequent lines are indented.
Also don't write 
citation: Felluga, Dino. Guide to Literary and Critical Theory. Purdue U, 28 Nov. 2003, www.cla.purdue.edu/english/theory/. Accessed 10 May 2006.

Instead do 
Citation:
Felluga, Dino. 
Guide to Literary and Critical Theory. Purdue U, 28 Nov. 2003,
                 www.cla.purdue.edu/english/theory/. Accessed 10 May 2006.

Also, make sure you make it obvious that the claim pertains to the article or the excerpt that you are using for Author's claim. It should also be tied in with the topic. 

Additionally, make it obvious if you agree, disagree, or qualify the author's claim. That paragraph should support your ideas.

Finally, the connection paragraph should make a connection between your article, the topic, and any other readings. It's not enough to just say there is a connection. Find a common theme between them and give examples. Make sure to cite if you use a direct quote or paraphrase something. 

​Hope this helps!
