Writing Assignments

Because of the limitations of electronic submission, you will use a modified version of the MLA format. Look at the example below:

You will use quotations marks and parentheses as usual. However, if you need to indicate that something is underlined, put an underscore before and after it. For example, the novel Hard Times would be indicated as _Hard Times_.

Works Cited:
Double space at the end of your essay, and type "Works Cited" (without the quotation marks), following the model for the essay title and body of the paper shown above. Again, because of the limitations of electronic submission, you will use a modified MLA format, single spacing the information for each entry and double spacing between each entry. Do not indent.
