It is very important that you be able to adhere to MLA style. One of our Course Competencies requires it. Incorporate into your essay at least three items (e.g., facts, quotes, ideas, statistics, observations, et cetera) that you have borrowed from at least three different kinds of secondary sources. Document your sources according to current MLA requirements. This means that your paper should have at least three parenthetical in-text citations and a Works Cited page in MLA format that lists the bibliographical information necessary to document each of your cited sources. Do not use open sources such as Wikipedia. Open sources typically are not considered to be suitable for academic, scholarly, or professional purposes.
