Re: [LM_NET] SHARE: Citing Sources--- High School vs. Academic

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

I can definitely understand the need to teach MLA citation for the
standardized test; however, if a research project has a rubric that
includes 10% of the total score to be based upon the proper use of the
APA citation style, it will be devastating to those students who have
completed wonderful research papers to find that the highest grade
that they could receive after weeks of work might only be a 90% (and
I've seen this just recently!!).  I would most definitely teach both
styles and explain that there are other styles that might be included
in the college experience (Turabian being only one that I thought had
died but is still kicking in some universities).
