How would I cite websites using MLA format?

We Answered:

Before the period in parenthesis put the authors last name and the page number you got it from (if its a book). then you will need to make a works cited page with a full citation.

ex. Yahoo Answers is fun (Brown 23).

For the Citation:
Son of Citation Machine. All the teachers use this website and all you have to do is plug in your info. Just click on MLA to get started, then click on what type of source you are referencing. (left hand side) Good Luck!

How do I layout a informal report on this topic?

We Answered:

Well, it looks like you have a good start. If this is an informal report, I am not sure that you need headings. However, if you want them , keep the headings short and not in question forms.
Betting scandals
College scandals
Rferee scandals
NBA
Hall of infamy ( instead of hall of fame. This is where you can bring up Pete Rose et al. )
FBI Investigayion
Impact on Future of NBA
The first two links below give examples of how to write informal reports, the second two links are about the scandals
Hope these help.

Can u just check this quick writing for me? ?

We Answered:

1. Our final results did not support our hypothesis. We all predicated that the majority of teenagers date based on appearance, but we were incorrect. After tallying the results, they had not matched what we originally thought. The results show that the majority of teenagers actually date based on personality.


2. We could have improved and enhanced our format and questions on our survey in several ways. We could have made sure we spelled every word correctly. For example, we misspelled the word ethnic on question eight. Also on question eight we should had more alternatives, such as _________. Finally we should had made the questions nine more understandable and clear. Moreover, our format should have been simpler and clear. For example, we should had placed the heading on the middle of the page, on question five we should had a line on the side of the “other”, and also on question two we accidentally put fifteen two times. Overall, we think that we should have carefully checked everything before we distributed our survey.

Stanley Said:

For which type or types of writing is it okay not to use the standard essay format (intro, body, conclusion)?

We Answered:

Short stories are more in chronological order, not necessarily intro-body-conclusion. Business letters are usually 2 paragraphs long.

Brittany Said:

How do I indent five spaces and subsequent lines?

We Answered:

Are you using Microsoft Word? If so, you set up a paragraph style so that it has a hanging indent of 5 characters.

Look in Microsoft Word Help for "paragraph style" or "hanging indent" if you need help doing that. I use a Mac, and you probably use a PC, so I can't give you an accurate step-by-step.

Scientific Report Ideas Are Needed!?

We Answered:

Can you post some of what your ideas are, and maybe we can change 'em into that format?

AHHH!! Okay, try this one:

Why does Tylenol work better than generic acetominophine? You could ask classmates for help as well as family - When they have aches and pains, they come to you for the medication. The thing to do is what's called a 'double-blind' study where neither you, nor they, know what they're getting until after the study is over.

Get Tylenol, Acetominophine, and sugar pills (a placebo - this is the control group) and sort them into batches. Have someone who won't be administering them do this. When someone has an ache or a pain, ask them to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 - 10 being the worst. Then they get the meds. Ask them to rate the pain again at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour, and so on for about 4 hours. See which group has the most effect upon the pain. Then you can check to see which group was which drug, or a placebo (the control).

Go to your local pharmacy and ask the Pharmacist for help. He or she would likely be VERY glad to help you with this project and would be invaluable in helping you to design it, administer it and in making sure that everything was done safely and ethically - Ethics are HUGELY important in a project like this. Including that dimension in your project could be what boosts you into an A category without any effort at all.

I think this would be a really interesting project, and one that might be interesting to post on a Blog or website - The claim ALWAYS has been that Generics are just as good as brand names. Are they?

If so, why? Ask the Pharmacist for possible explanations as to why a brand name might be better than the generic - if they are. If not, you've answered the question: They aren't.

Check this out with your teacher and see if it fits the format...
