MLA Citation Correction (Multiple-Choice Exercise)

Abstract

This exercise is a multiple-choice exercise meant to help students spot inconsistencies in MLA citations. There are seven citations (of mostly articles but one book) that are formatted incorrectly. Underneath each incorrect citation are three revisions of the same citation, but only one is correct. The student is supposed to choose which of the three revisions is correct and in-line with MLA 9th Edition. This exercise would be best for 100-level classes, or classes where students' knowledge of MLA citation is either emerging or progressing (in accordance with the GVSU Libraries stats rubric).
