@@fazezyft1248 I am one of them, too. Sometimes students need to hear from different sources and at different times.
@@kameruno Yes, we don't always need to reinvent the wheel.
@@fazezyft1248 bruh ur roasting a teacher yet you have faze in your name...Based having ass normie
I'm a sophomore in my first writing class, our teacher gave us a ton of really complicated examples and stuff to use, but this was super helpful! Tysvm for this, it helped me a lot!!
Teachers should not give students requirements to complete MLA essays. That should be personal between the student and those who edit or want to publish that essay.
I’m currently writing a 5 page essay for my anthropology class as a first year student who has never written this long of an essay 😭 you saved my life. Thank you so much.
When I do mine if they fail I create files about them and put everything which failed in the file so I learn from the mistakes.
is anyone else writing an essay that's due tmrw and you have no idea how to cite sources?! ahhh! srsly though, this is rly helpful, thanks!
Thanks! I really needed this because we were never taught about MLA citation in my last school so now that I transferred, I could use this properly. thanks again!
This was so helpful! Clear and concise. Now I'm an MLA pro. 🙏🏽 Thank you.
Years later, and this is still one of the best videos on the topic. My god, you are so helpful!
It's clear, straight to the point, and extremely well done. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! What do I do if I have the cite the same text from two different publications (e.g. Judith Butlers Gender Trouble 1990 & 2006)? I need to distinguish between both texts as they are not identical, yet without naming the year of publication in the in-Text citation they look the same?
You are just amazing ;I loved your video ,and I loved you. ❤

Thank you so much for making this video. I have been having major problem with writing a research paper this month and I did not know what I should do. But when I saw this video it was clearer than what my teacher has explained to us. So thank you. Just asking but do you have a video that has anything to do with writing a research paper?
I wish my professor was this easy to understand
You're the greatest i admitted 🙏💕✨🔥

So glad!
thanks the information helps a lot
Glad to hear it!
Very helpful
Appreciate it
Thanks
Thank you so much with your generator I can finally finish my annotated bibliography😂
Good vid!
Remember even if you’re stating your citations in your work you still have to create a bibliography at the end with all the sources from your entire work
wow thank you you know im bout to pass my test
Best of luck!
If we are citing a whole book without any page or section particular (Because I have an assignment solely for citing sources), would we need to include a page number in the in-text citations? I used the Scribbr link to cite my book and everything worked perfectly, it says a number in the in-text citations and I was just hoping to know whether I would need that if I was citing the whole book. Thank You!!
how do i in text cite an essay written by a different author from a book?, do i write the essay author or the author of the book himself?
Thanks : )
what if i use a lot of content in a video do i need to do in text for each part i use or can i put it at the start and the end ?
