Grammony Abdulaziz Alfuhaid Miscommunication. 3 days ago Hi everyone, Many miscommunication situations happened to me in these two years, especially during my first year in the US. Last spring, I had an Economic class. In the first week, the professor separates us into groups. The deal was after each chapter; the professor will choose one person from each group to submit the homework without knowing who the person who will submit the assignment is. There was one of my group mates. He was not in the class on that day. Sometimes when we finished dass early, the professor telling us to do the homework in the class to help each other. That student was not active with our group. He just asked us if he can to take a picture of the solution so he can write it for the submission date because we are in one team. We allowed him to take pictures. At the end of the semester, the professor asked that student to submit the final homework paper. He was not ready to submit it because he thought the group would decide who will submit the homework paper.Because of this miscommunication, we lost half of the points from the final homework paper. Also, because this student was one part of our group, we should have alerted him to what the professor said. From this situation, I learned to make sure to warn those with me in the group about what the professor had told us in their absence. After that, everyone will know what he should do. Thus because of this communication, there will be no miscommunication between us. Reference: Scott, C. (2019, November 21). How to avoid miscommunication in the workplace.

We had a group of 5 and the best way I was able to break down the presentation was for each of us to do 2 minutes of speaking. We met at the end of class to quickly discuss our roles. We planned to work on the material individually then meet up. Two members of the group decided to not show up or let us know where they were which was lack of accountability on their end. Additionally, one of the two, decided to do a half way job with their slides, so I had to speak longer for my part of the presentation to meet the minimum requirement of 10 minutes. For the next time I have a team project, I will make sure we meet up together initially, so I can be clear with my tone and eye contact. Sarah Jane Reference Scott, C. (2019, November 21).

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
