Synopsis

This book is a student-friendly guide to the major elements and variations in the 8th edition of The MLA Handbook, the Modern Language Association’s guide to documentation format. The“student-friendly” aspect is the most important part. Many students don’t like writing. Those who do don’t like learning MLA format. We completely understand. Learning MLA format has always been challenging for many students, but now they feel like they are being asked to decipher a new code. Never fear. Unlocking the MLA Code is here. Written by two composition professors, UMC is (1) a handbook of 8th edition MLA rules and examples, tips for correctly paraphrasing sources and avoiding plagiarism, punctuation and grammar basics, and practice exercises with keys and (2) a workbook of assignments for instructors to give students.
