Learning Outcome 5

I was very comfortable with creating an MLA Citations document because in high school I was taught how to create the citations on my own. Having the class create the citations was easier but I know that next time I can defiantly create them myself. I usually form my citations with the help of a credited website like OWL Purdue to make sure it matches the correct MLA model because sometimes the computer does not generate it correctly. For the most part I was very comfortable throughout all three paper I made to make MLA citations for the paper because doing a class example during paper 1 was a good reference to look back on during the other papers. The only MLA citation I messed up on was paper 2, but I believe my error was just not putting my sources in alphabetical order which is not a huge mistake, but still pretty significant. As for integrating quotes into my paper I did not have as many problems with signal phrases to introduce my quotes, but I did have a problem with parenthetical quotations. I would always put the period inside the parentheses with the authors name. For example, “Female colleagues confided that they would avoid references to their children at work, lest they be seen as mothers first and scholars second” (Yoshino). The correct way is to put the parenthesis here “Female colleagues confided that they would avoid references to their children at work, lest they be seen as mothers first and scholars second.” (Yoshino) I now believe that I am more comfortable with creating MLA citations, correctly siting a quote, and intergrading quotes into my paper by using signal phrases.
