Four reasons why using MLA is important 1) allows readers to cross reference your sources easily. 2) Provides consistant format within a discipline. 3) Gives you credibility as a writer and 4) protects yourself from plagiarism.
What is the purpose of using a consistent format? Because using a consistent format helps your reader understand your arguments and the sources they are built on. It also helps you keep track of your sources as you build arguments.
Consequences of plagiarizing can result in anything from failure of the assignment to expulsion from school.
Where can you find the answers on how to properly cite in MLA format? Prentice Hall Reference Guide, composition textbooks, www.mla.org, and OWL website.
Two purposes of a work cited page are a complete list of every source that you make reference to in you essay and provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any sources cited in your essay.
