Lesson 8 Assignment

1. What was discussed today in class?
Answer: Today we discussed about the different kind of citation formats and also did a few practice samples of it.
2. Describe two differences between MLA and APA citation formats.
Answer: The differences between MLA and APA citation formats is that APA style citations are used to cite writings that have a social science focus. On the other hand MLA style citations are used to cite writings that have humanities focus. The other differences between both these formats is that in a MLA formatted paper, the author's name, both first and last name is spelled out on the bibliography page. In APA, only the last name of the author is spelled out while the first name is an initial.
