MLA & APA Formats Workshop

Using MLA and APA Formats in Academic Writing?
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
10:00 - 11:00 a.m.
Student Center Ballroom

I'd like to extend a special invitation to your classes to attend the Academic Success Center's Academic Skills Enhancement workshop next Wednesday, October 17th at 10:00 A.M. in the Student Center ballroom. It's titled, "We’ll Give You Points for Style: Using MLA and APA formats in Academic Writing" and will offer students information on both sets of style guidelines: similarities and differences, the purpose of following formats, the basic information to remember about each, and resources for additionalinformation. The goal is to get students thinking about why academic writers use MLA or APA and to provide students with sources to consult with their future questions.If you have a class during this time, please feel free to bring the entire class to the workshop. If your class is not at this time, you may still encourage your students to attend. If you would like to offer credit for their attending this workshop but cannot attend yourself, simply contact me; I would gladly send you a copy of the attendance roster.Because the Academic Success Center wishes to serve the DSU community,we would welcome suggestions from you for workshops for next semester or next year. Also, if you would like us to schedule a specific workshop during your class time, please let me know.Please reply to tell if your class will attend and how many students you will bring. You may send your reply to Sonja Steffen (ASC Administrative Secretary) at Sonja.Steffen@dickinsonstate.edu or by telephone at 483-2999. I hope to see you at Wednesday's workshop or at another one soon.
