Citations & References Assignment

For this assignment, you will develop and submit the following TWO deliverables:

1 – Citations document

• For page 1 of this deliverable, simply edit the paragraphs in the source document so that they conform to MLA style.
• For page 2, provide a bulleted list describing each TYPE of change that you made to the text on page 1. Identify the issue or rule, NOT your specific correction.

Notes:

• Do NOT alter authorial decisions about which citations to identify in the signal phrase.
• Do NOT alter authorial decisions about which citations require a page number reference.
• Do NOT re-type the paragraphs, just keep them as is and correct only the citations.

2 – References document

• For page 1 of this deliverable, please edit the source documents references so that they conform to MLA style.
• For page 2, provide a bulleted list describing each TYPE of change that you made to the reference list. Identify the issue or rule, NOT your specific correction.

Notes:

• If you use reference management software, identify which program you used.
• Recommendation: Re-type each reference in the new format, rather than using existing text.

Notes for both deliverables:

• Include your name on the upper right of EVERY page.
• Retain the source documents overall formatting (typeface, point size, spacing, margins).
• Do NOT include the original text; instead, just provide your edited text.
• Save the two deliverables (total of 4 pages) as a single document in PDF format.

Resources

• Follow MLA format guidelines from the MLA Style Summary – Mount Royal University document (available on iLearn).
  • Do NOT use other MLA reference guides.
• Research any missing or incomplete information, but do NOT change any existing information. You also do NOT need to fact-check the authors use of sources.

Important note

The MLA Style Summary – Mount Royal University document indicates that journal article references should list the database where the article was found (e.g., ProQuest, JSTOR) as well as the articles DOI (Digital Object Identifier). For this assignment, please do NOT include these elements unless they are part of the original reference within the 2009 IEEE article excerpt.
