    Sir, i owe you part of my grade and my current mental and emotional stability. Im a good writer, but when it comes to formatting I have no idea how to do it, be it MLA or APA i can just never remember how to do it correctly. I was having a big panic attack trying to find the right way to cite my sources, and your video is so concisely explained with the right amount of humor, seriousness, and empathy I needed to set my feet back on the ground. thank you so much for explaining all of this. the visual aid is also amazing. i wish you happiness and health forever

    My friend is so stressed out because she has a professor that refuses to give her a direct answer on how to properly in-text cite a author and a organization both together in (1) parenthesis. Or the correct way if that is not the proper way it should be done. Can you please give an fair example on how to do this properly with one author w/ a organization and another demonstrating the proper way to in-text cite multiple authors w/ a organization. Because we cant find the answers on how to in-text cite a author along with a organization without them trying to switch or swap one for the other .

    In one example the quoted text is in quotation marks and in the other it is in italics. Was this just illustrative is there a standard between the two or are the specific to each type of quotation?

    • @peakdavid
      @peakdavid  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just illustrative. Italics are used for quotes only in special circumstances and outside the body of the paper.

    Any chance of clarifying how MLA differs from other referencing styles? I find, from this segment, MLA style is easy and uncomplicated.But usually,some academicians have one preference over the other. I'd stick to MLA, given the choice.

    • @peakdavid
      @peakdavid  ปีที่แล้ว

      MLA is designed for literature and the humanities. If you go deep into the MLA Handbook, you'll see specific, arcane examples. APA focuses on the social sciences. A problem occurs when a school or professor tries to apply one style to all disciplines.
