Module 3: Which Style to Use?

Not sure which citation style (APA or MLA) to use when writing your essay?

Don't worry, you're not alone! Many students have this same challenge.

Here are a couple different ways to identify which style to use:

• The first step is to review your essay assignment.
• If you can't find anything on the assignment, then the second step is to review your course syllabus.
• If the syllabus does not mention which type of formatting style to use, email your professor.
• If your professor doesn't have a preference, you can choose a formatting style you prefer!
  • If your professor doesn't mind which style you choose, but you can't decide, come into the No'eau Center so our tutors can help you chose a style!
