Week 5

This was a good week. We learned how to cite references using MLA formatting. We also learned about annotations and how to write them. I had to do alot of reading this week so that I would be able to properly write my annotations. I must say that I had never even heard of annotations before. I think that annotations are a great way of keeping ideas and references organized. I really didn't like the MLA formatting. I have used it before in my english classes, but I am still a little confused about it. It seems to me that there are to many different ways to cite a source. For instance, if I wanted to cite an article it would depend on what type of article is was. There are a few different ways to cite them. I guess the more I use the MLA citations then the more I will understand them.

Adam: Knowing the type of source you are citing is really the key to getting the citation correct. And with sources available in so many different formats, it's become a lot more complicated.
