Overview:
These exercises give you practice with the ins-and-outs of MLA format, and of citation rules in general. You can attempt them as many times as you like. The one dumb thing is that the exercises don't change, so you will have to go through the same set of exercises the second time around. Despite this shortcoming, these exercises will certainly give you some practical experience with the logistics of citation. |
